Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah
See it's been hard for me to be myself
I look in the mirror and I can't see myself
Feel like I'm screamin'
And no one's hearin' me
Trapped in my insecurities
Knowin' I couldn't free myself (I see you)
[Verse 2]
My heart and my time are two things I stopped givin'
'Cause most of us are breathing' but we not livin'
What happens then
When I'm too numb inside to even feel
[Verse 3]
What happens when
There's no more life in me
For you to kill (I see you)
I can't love now
I can't trust now
I can't help but drinking to feel the rush now
[Verse 4]
I can't lose you
I can't keep you
I can't stay
But you know I'm too weak to leave you (I see you)
[Verse 5]
Know I'm too weak to love someone else
'Cause you know I need you
Even though you lie to me
I still try to believe you
[Verse 6]
But we ended up as the type of people that don't love
'Cause we grew up in a world
That just never showed love (I see you)
[Verse 7]
But if you see me now
You wouldn't recognize me
All these feelings that I used to have
Are dead inside me
[Verse 8]
And I don't know how much longer I can stay
The ones that hold close
Are the ones that just push away and it's like (I see you)
[Verse 9]
Havin' trouble findin' myself
I couldn't say I'm still the same
I couldn't lie to myself
[Verse 10]
They say love has a price
We just can't afford what it cost
Lookin' for ourselves In a place where we're all lost
[Verse 11]
I see you runnin' into the woods (Runnin' into the woods)
With your bright yellow jacket
You look lost
Yeah, you look lost
[Verse 12]
I see you runnin' into the woods (Runnin' into the woods)
With your bright yellow jacket
You look lost (You look lost)
You look lost
I see you
[Verse 13]
Yeah, my family don't know
The shit I've been goin' through
I'm empty now
And it's been a while since I've spoke to you
I run to you 'cause I know your soul has been broken too
But maybe that's the reason
Why I just couldn't get close to you (I see you)
[Verse 14]
You're no good
Your love is dressed in destruction
I pushed away but without you
I couldn't function
I needed somethin' to feel
I just needed somethin' that's real
'Cause I just keep numbin' the pain
Till I feel nothin' in these (I see you)
[Verse 15]
Nightmares haunt me still
But I just keep dreaming
If God exists, tell me why I only see demons?
Yeah, I only see demons
Tryin' not to choke
And my lungs fill with smoke
Like how the fuck I keep breathin'? (I see you)
[Verse 16]
We live in a time
Where love is more painful than hate now
So all the smiles we give
To people are fake now
And we just hide how we feel
So we never break down
And all these doubts got me feelin' like a mistake (I see you)
[Verse 17]
I wish I didn't have to take these pills
But I just needed somethin'
That can make me feel
I just needed somethin' that could take what's real
And make me numb
'Cause all this pain just can't be killed (I see you)
[Verse 18]
I can't be killed
My soul's too real
That's when it broke to pieces
Who would have thought loving you was my only weakness?
[Verse 19]
Fuck
Who would have thought loving you was my only weakness? (I see you)
[Verse 20]
Runnin' into the woods (Runnin' into the woods)
With your bright yellow jacket
You look lost (You look lost)
You look lost
[Verse 21]
I see you runnin' into the woods (Runnin' into the woods)
With your bright yellow jacket
You look lost (You look lost)
You look lost
I see you
