Fix Myself

I've carried myself for most of my life
I've made mistakes, and for those, I have cried
I was once somebody they could recognize
I tore myself open, and they all closed their eyes
But I'm finally learning how to pull myself back together
All the pressure was no good for me
And while everybody else keeps trying to fix each other
I'm walking away, I will fix myself
It's not in my head, the moments I bled
Out from the under the dark when they carved up my heart
But I'm finally learning how to pull myself back together
Cause forever is no good for me
And while everybody else sees that we can't fix each other
I'm walking away, I will fix myself
I know what I'm worth outside of their world
I will fix myself
My skin is my own from the wounds that I've grown
I will fix myself
I'm not what you want, but I'm all I've got
I will fix myself
I'll pay the costs for all that I've lost
I will fix myself
For all that it's worth, I'm thankful it hurts
The pain that I feel, at least I know that it's real
I look at myself, at nobody else
I empty my lungs, and still I am enough
I am enough

Wait & Run

Who am I supposed to be if I wasn’t supposed to be at all?
What am I supposed to believe if I can’t believe myself first of all?
I have grown old
and I will grow older
and the shops will all close
and the planes will fly overhead
I wait & run I wait & run again and again
What am I supposed to say if I was told to keep quiet for so long?
What am I supposed to take if I couldn’t take what’s mine for so long?
I have lived long
and I will live longer
til the day I stop breathing
my bloodline will race ahead
I wait & run I wait & run again and again and again and again
I have moved on
and I will move further
and the caves will collapse
and I’ll patch up the wounds that bled
Oh, I have grown strong
and I will grow stronger
for the angels above,
I will accept what’s been said
I wait & run I wait & run again and again
Who am I supposed to be if I wasn’t supposed to be at all?

Rationalize

I can’t find a way to show it
I can’t find a way to let it out
What you left has started growing
I can’t get the words out of my mouth
Oh, I pray that you would explain yourself
Explain why to you I am tethered
Am I the only one here who’s lost their mind?
I might rationalize forever
I know it’s not my fault that
You tore me down without a sound
Read the lines on my hand
Saw me lower than the ground
But maybe it is my fault
I lost all concern for my health
Maybe it was too much for me to want it all
I must’ve brought it upon myself
Oh, I pray that you would explain yourself
Explain why to you I am tethered
Am I the only one here who’s lost their mind?
I might rationalize forever
Rationalize
Forget what’s inside
Rationalize
Between my thighs
I can’t find a way to show it
You can’t have me believe in myself
I can’t find a way to know it
It’s not the same as what you tell
Oh, I pray that you would explain yourself
Explain why to you I am tethered
Am I the only one here who’s lost their mind?
I might rationalize forever
Rationalize
Forget what’s inside
Rationalize
Between my thighs

Understand

I need you to be more gentle than that
I see through all the effort that you lack
I need you to come closer
Need you to understand
That you're the one who's lucky
to have me reaching for your hand
Under the sheets
Show me that you understand
Show me that you understand
You need me more than you could ever think
But you tease me, knowing that I never want you to leave
Wish I could go the distance
Wish you could run the mile
Your instinct is resistance
Hidden behind a smile
Under the sheets
Show me that you understand
Show me that you understand
I need you to come closer
Need you to understand
That you're the one who's lucky
to have me reaching for your hand
Face the feeling
Show me that you understand
Wish I could go the distance
Wish you could run the mile
Your instinct is resistance
Hidden behind a smile
Quit your teasing
Show me that you understand
I need you to come closer (Wish I could go the distance)
Need you to understand (Wish you could run the mile)
That you're the one who's lucky (Your instinct is resistance)
to have me reaching for your hand (Hidden behind a smile)
Under the sheets
Show me that you understand
Show me that you understand
