[Intro] I-I-I'm not worth it Ne-never really was You’ll feel it in the quiet Like everybody does [Verse 1] I’ve learned to smile just enough to get by I-I-I keep it small so no one asks why You say I’m kind, but it feels like a skit Like I’m playing a part that just doesn’t fit I’ve spent more nights leaving than trying to stay Packing up feelings and walking away [Chorus] Don’t fall for me, I-I-I’ll let you down You’ll try to stay while I turn around You think I shine, but I’m fading slow You think I care, but I don’t even know I’m holding on by a trembling string Please don’t make me your everything [Verse 2] I talk in circles so you won’t come close I-I-I trade small truths for the things I won’t show You say you see me, but it’s only part The edge of a picture, not the broken heart I tuck the rest where your hands never start So it never spills out, never falls apart [Chorus] Don’t fall for me, I-I-I won’t stay long You’ll try to hold what’s already gone You think I feel every word you say But I’m half a world and a blink away You think I’m healing each time that you speak But the volume’s down and your voice sounds weak [Bridge] I’ve loved before and I left too fast Left rooms full of echoes that never passed They whispered they’d wait, but I closed that door Watched promises pile up on the floor I-I-I break slowly, then one of these days I’m smoke in the hallway, gone without trace [Verse 3] Sometimes I wish I could prove this wrong Bu-bu-but even in dreams, it don’t last long I picture myself brave, finally enough Reaching for love without flinching from touch But I-I-I wake with my guard pulled tight Still scared of your hands in the morning light [Chorus] Don’t fall for me, I-I-I’ve tried to change But some things stay when the rest rearrange You think I’m strong, but I’m losing my grip White-knuckle heart on a sinking ship You think I’m worth every tear you spend But you don’t hear how the story will end [Outro] I-I-I’m not worth it, I whisper it low Ne-never really was, and I think you know You’ll see it soon in the way I move through I turn from your light like they a-a-always do
