dare

[Verse 1]

I saw a boy turn into smoke

Convinced myself I’m dreaming

He gestured back, shot a pointed glance

At a cycle still repeating

[Chorus]

Oh it won’t be easy, Catie

You just gotta try

If you don’t see yourself in me

Just look in my eyes

[Verse 2]

I knew a girl who took so much

She couldn’t stop the bleeding

19 years old with no map

And a skill for self-defeating

She's telling everybody she fucks

That she doesn’t feel anything when she gets touched

And she’s bargaining one more month

Against one more drink or one more cut

Yeah she's telling everybody she loves

That it’s their fault she isn’t growing up

Yeah she's telling everybody she trusts

She’s just having fun and they care too much

[Chorus]

Oh it won’t be easy, Catie

You just gotta try

Do you still see yourself in me

When you wanna die

[Verse 3]

I've been a girl who gets so choked up

Every time she’s speaking

Pretends the awful things she put behind her won’t be creeping up

[Bridge]

Again again again again

Again again again again

Again again again again

Again again again

[Chorus]

Oh it won’t be easy, Catie

You just gotta try

You haven’t been yourself lately

What does it feel like?

If it was easy, Catie

You’d just follow the light

Promise you’ll never hate me

Just to dull the bite
