this is what not belonging feels like

[Intro]

I've been cornered by all of the highs

Trying to fail so I'm not left behind

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I've got too many flaws in my mind

Hiding to fix what's all in the right

Way when it turns into nights

Where I would go to cry myself to sleep

[Chorus]

When the bottles are empty

And I'd find it hard to revisit

A time when I felt understood

But I ask if you would not assume

Before I try to show you what I'm made of lies

Overtaking my own little life

That I have hesitated to show you

'Cause I'm scared of breaking apart, uh‚ uh‚ uh

[Verse 1]

And I know the troubles I face are as dark

As the people who think they would know who we are

And are they real or am I just playing a part?

Caught me stealing names I could use in a while‚ in a while

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I've got too many flaws in my mind

Hiding to fix what's all in the right

Way when it turns into nights

Where I would go to cry myself to sleep

[Chorus]

When the bottles are empty

And I'd find it hard to revisit

A time when I felt understood

But I ask if you would not assume

Before I try to show you what I'm made of lies

Overtaking my own little life

That I have hesitated to show you

'Cause I'm scared of breaking apart, uh, uh‚ uh

[Chorus]

When the bottles are empty

And I'd find it hard to revisit

A time when I felt understood

But I ask if you would not assume

Before I try to show you what I'm made of lies

Overtaking my own little life

That I have hesitated to show you

'Cause I'm scared of breaking apart, uh, uh‚ uh
