Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Today's a shade of disbelief
Inflict the shame you sent to me
I can entrust a new meaning
I'm not ready
[PreChorus]
So is this what it feels like
Breaking from the inside, all the time?
[Chorus]
Tell me
What's the cost of giving up?
Why does it feel like help will never come?
Maybe
I'm the one I'm running from
It's too much to carry
It's all getting heavy
Lift me up
[Verse 2]
It burrows like a summer tick
Embeds itself to make me sick
Of all the places it could be
It's still in me
[PreChorus]
Guess this what it feels like
Speaking from the dark side of my mind
[Chorus]
Tell me
What's the cost of giving up?
Why does it feel like help will never come?
Maybe
I'm the one I'm running from
It's too much to carry
It's all getting heavy
Lift me up
[Bridge]
Can't push me further down in the trench
Back against the wall
So you wanna test me now?
While the others beg and fail to repent
They were fit to suffer
And I will dig back out
[Chorus]
Tell me
What's the cost of giving up?
Why does it feel like help will never come?
Maybe
I'm the one I'm running from
It's too much to carry
It's all getting heavy
[Chorus]
Tell me
What's the cost of giving up?
Why does it feel like help will never come?
Maybe
I'm the one I'm running from
It's too much to carry
It's all getting heavy
Lift me up
[Outro]
Tell me
What's the cost of giving up?
