lyrics

if you must
know everything
know it hurts to be
around like this
still with your words
suffocating me
like your hands are wrapped
all around my neck
still remember when
i first felt like this
now i just cry
& ball up my fists

yet, dear you,
consume
all these thoughts and fears
tell the truth
dying to hear about it
yeah, dear you
come on let me down again
disappointment’s my best friend
yes i’ll regret the words
but it won’t compare to
the things i’ve heard
all coming in from
you, dear you
yes you, dear you

if you don’t
admit to anything
know that i hide
your realities
still with your stares
piercing through my skin
i cover up wounds
with fake memories
still remember when
i would take the risk
now i just cry
as you strike again

yet, dear you,
consume
all these thoughts and fears
tell the truth
dying to hear about it
yeah, dear you
come on let me down again
disappointment’s my best friend
yes i’ll regret the words
but it won’t compare to
the things i’ve heard
all coming in from
you, dear you
yes you, dear you

i am just these broken bones
take these pieces & ship them home
try to make me whole again
screaming, “dear you, im afraid of the end”

yet, dear you,
consume
all these thoughts and fears
tell the truth
dying to hear about it
yeah, dear you
come on let me down again
disappointment’s my best friend
yes i’ll regret the words
but it won’t compare to
the things i’ve heard
all coming in from
you, dear you
yes you, dear you
