Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wet paper on my doorstep, raining all night
It's ok
I don't wanna read anyway
Turn the TV
Just to hear the voices talking, maybe
[Verse 2]
Sofa's so uncomfortable
When I jammed the door and leave it open
But I been thinking
[Verse 3]
If I try again, I know I'd run
Trappin' the words to the back of my tongue
Poisonous is what I've become
I try again, but I don't have the courage
[Verse 4]
Facing the sun from the rooftop
Playin' a sad song, feeling bad for myself
All of my friends back home say I should be happy, maybe
[Verse 5]
Sofa's so uncomfortable
When I jammed the door and leave it open
But I been thinking
[Verse 6]
If I try again, I know I'd run
Trappin' the words to the back of my tongue
Poisonous is what I've become
I try again, but I don't have the courage
[Verse 7]
It hurts so good, bad nights
Feel the same as they did then
I wish someone had told me how it ends
"I'm not so good at trying"
My words in my defense
I wish someone had told me, told me
[Verse 8]
If I try again, I know I'd run
Trappin' the words to the back of my tongue
Poisonous is what I've become
I try again, but I don't have the courage
[Verse 9]
Oh, poisonous
If I try again, If I try again, oh
