Lyrics

I’D RATHER DIE

(It's like I'd rather die than)
(Like I'd rather die than take my)
(It's like I'd rather die than take my own advice)

Hey
Long time, no sleep
I swear I've been awake all week
Or maybe this is all a bad dream
Where I'm asking
'When you gonna let me leave?'

Hey
New year, same me
Still faking just to make ends meet
Still my sanity demands caffeine
But my heart rate's gotta disagree
(Please help me)

I gotta get up
I gotta get over it
(Gotta get over it)
I'm gonna give up
God, I'm so over it
(God, I'm so over it)

It's like I'd rather die than take my own advice
Tear apart my mind, find some strength inside
It's like I'd rather die than take my own advice
It doesn't hurt to try – that's a fucking lie

(It's like I'd rather die than)
(Like I'd rather die than take my)
(It's like I'd rather die than take my own advice)

Hey
I don't feel too great
Can you tell me if I sound too strange?
Can you take away the pain
Amputate my brain
And change the way I operate?
Listen and cooperate
(Thanks mate)

Maybe I'm broken
Maybe I'm bored
Maybe I'm self-absorbed

It's like I'd rather die than take my own advice
Tear apart my mind, find some strength inside
It's like I'd rather die than take my own advice
It doesn't hurt to try – that's a fucking lie

I gotta get up
I gotta get over it
(Gotta get over it)
I'm gonna give up
God, I'm so over it
(God, I'm so over it)

I gotta get up
I gotta get over it
(Gotta get over it)
I'm gonna give up
God, I'm so over it
(God, I'm so over it)

It's like I'd rather die than take my own advice
Tear apart my mind, find some strength inside
It's like I'd rather die than take my own advice
It doesn't hurt to try – that's a fucking lie

(It's like I'd rather die than)
(Like I'd rather die than take my)
(It's like I'd rather die than take my own advice)
