Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Are we better off believin'

What the ignorance suggests

I wish livin' life was easy (Mhm)

But mine has been a mess

They say it comes with the seasons (Mhm)

But the seasons come and go (They go)

I go blurry when I'm thinkin'

Is it me or vertigo?

[Verse 2]

Criticized

Who am I to give up?

Breathing was the reason to live

Sympathize

Who am I to give up?

Puttin' on my favorite record on

[Verse 3]

Are we alive, or are we dreamin'?

After the ride, are you leavin'?

Are we alive, or are we dreamin'?

After the ride, are you leavin'?

[Verse 4]

I have been better, often broken

I've been battered up and beat

I wish I was more outspoken

But the words are out of reach

I thought I loved you in the moment

I was happy I was gone

I been learnin' I've been growin'

But the worst has yet to come

[Verse 5]

Criticized (Yeah)

Who am I to give up? (Who am I)

Breathing what's the reason to live

Sympathize

Who am I to give up?

Puttin' on my favorite record on

[Verse 6]

Are we alive, or are we dreamin'?

After the ride, are you leavin'?

Are we alive, or are we dreamin'?

After the ride, are you leavin'?

[Verse 7]

Eyes closed, eyes closed

I've been fallin' with my

Eyes low, eyes low

I've been fallin' with my

[Verse 8]

Eyes closed, eyes closed

I've been fallin' with my

Eyes low, eyes low

I've been fallin with my

[Verse 9]

Eyes closed, eyes closed

I've been fallin with my

Eyes low, eyes low

I've been fallin' with my

[Verse 10]

Eyes closed, eyes closed

I've been fallin' with my

Eyes low, eyes low

I've been, I've been, I've been

[Verse 11]

Eyes closed, eyes closed

I've been fallin' with my

Eyes low, eyes low

I've been fallin' with my

[Verse 12]

Eyes closed, eyes closed

I've been fallin' with my

Eyes low, eyes low

I've been fallin' with my
