biting my tongue

Tryna make everyone happy first
Jump through hoops like fancy needle work
I'm held together by a thread
Missing 'cause I always aim to bleed
Never ask for what I need
I keep putting me in second best

Empty my head, use all my energy
'Cause I want to impress, so I'll play figurine
I'll bend backwards, 'til my back hurts
And I'm

Biting my tongue, I'm going off the deep end
And I'm tired of it all, but awake enough to pretend
Biting my tongue, I've been making it a problem
And I'm tired of it all, can't be awake with all these fake friends

Never let bridges burn, giving everything and in return
I'm lying in the bed I've made (bed I've made, bed I've made)
One-sided friendship, always leave it open-ended
I'm sick of carrying the weight (weight)

Empty my head, use all my energy
'Cause I want to impress, so I'll play figurine
I'll bend backwards, 'til my back hurts
And I'm

Biting my tongue, I'm going off the deep end
And I'm tired of it all, but awake enough to pretend
Biting my tongue, I've been making it a problem
And I'm tired of it all, can't be awake with all these fake friends

Biting my tongue (ah), don't ask me why
I never speak my mind (ah, ah)
Holding my breath (ah), although it hurts
I swallow the words (ah, ah)
