Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We were tight but it falls apart as silver turns to blue
Waxing with a candlelight, burning just for you
Allocate your sentiment and stick it in a box
I've never been an extrovert but I'm still breathing
[Verse 2]
Someone tried to do me ache, someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache, it's what I'm afraid of
Someone tried to do me ache, it's what I'm afraid of
[Verse 3]
With hindsight, I was more than blind and lost without a clue
Thought I was getting karat gold and what I got was you
Stuck inside the circumstance, it's lonely at the top
I've always been an introvert, happily bleeding
[Verse 4]
Someone tried to do me ache, someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache, it's what I'm afraid of
Someone tried to do me ache, it's what I'm afraid of
[Verse 5]
Four seven two three nine eight five, I gotta breathe to stay alive
One, four, two-nine, seven eight, feels like I'm gonna suffocate
Fourteen, sixteen, twenty-two, this skin that turns to blister blue
Shoulders toes and knees, I'm thirty-six degrees
Shoulders toes and knees, I'm thirty-six
[Verse 6]
Someone tried to do me ache, someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache, it's what I'm afraid of
Someone tried to do me ache, it's what I'm afraid of
It's what I'm afraid of, it's what I'm afraid of
It's what I'm afraid of, it's what I'm afraid of
