I Hold Myself in Contempt

[Verse 1]

Just stop the act

You’ve been climbing on my back to weigh me down

But I adapt

Keeping you and all your baggage off the ground

You’re not just another nail in my coffin

You’re the box I’m laid to rot in

I’m all in

But don’t be surprised if I don’t make it out alive

[Pre-Chorus]

So get a grip

You’re losing it

Your time is fading fast

I won't waste another second picking you up when you’re falling

[Chorus]

Back away I’m anything but okay

What’s the point of living if you’re already dead?

So take the best of anything I have left

I won't waste my days hating myself to death

[Verse 2]

What’s left to say?

I’ve been heading down this road, or so I’m told

Apparently I’m out of control

Apparently I’m about to explode

I never thought that I’d be giving you up

I never thought that I’d be giving you up

I never thought that you’d be holding me back

I never thought that you’d be holding me back

[Pre-Chorus]

So get a grip

You’re losing it

Your time is fading fast

I won't waste another second picking you up when you’re falling

[Chorus]

Back away I’m anything but okay

What’s the point of living if you’re already dead?

So take the best of anything I have left

I won't waste my days hating myself to death

[Bridge]

There will be nothing left of you when I’m through

Because of you the air I breathe is suffocating

I won’t waste another second on you

Picking you up when you fall

[Chorus]

Back away I’m anything but okay

What’s the point of living if you’re already dead?

So take the best of anything I have left

I won't waste my days hating myself to death

[Outro]

So take the best of anything I have left

I won't waste my days hating myself to death
