Lyrics

Risk It

Risk it
I wouldn't risk it, I wouldn't risk it
Risk it
Risk it
I wouldn't risk it, I wouldn't risk it
Risk it

In the deep
Don't wanna call you out
But I'm over it
Over it
I feel ashamed
It feels insane to seek you endlessly
Late night remedy
But ooh girl, I just can't let you go
I'm too afraid to

Risk it
I wouldn't risk it, I wouldn't risk it
Risk it
Risk it
I wouldn't risk it, I wouldn't risk it
Risk it

Take a breath
I'm struggling to keep you left of me
It's slowly killing me
I know I should end it here with you
I'm too afraid
And ooh girl, I feel you everywhere
I'm too afraid to

Risk it
I wouldn't risk it, I wouldn't risk it
Risk it
Risk it
I wouldn't risk it, I wouldn't risk it
Risk it
Risk it

I wouldn't risk it, I wouldn't risk it
Risk it
Risk it
I wouldn't risk it, I wouldn't risk it
Risk it
Risk it

    As we charge full-length into the coming apocalypse, we can’t say we weren’t warned.
