lyrics

Lyrics:

I'm so emotional
I can't fight this feeling of helplessness.
I tried my best to keep you close
All you ever wanted was to get out of this

But your damaged limbs and broken bones couldn't carry you home

I tried and I lost
Drowned my conscience in the alcohol
Kissed the bottle until my lips were sore.
Didn't stop until my head hit the floor
Ill panic about anything good coming my way (ill stay out of your way)
Ill pick and choose which cycle to stay stuck in (never breaking the habit)
