[Verse 1]
You sat me down beside myself
To show me all the reasons I was wrong for you
Was this for real? It's hard to tell
Because it was such a beautiful mess we had got into
I'm going to overcome this, paper hearts can't win this time
And all along I should have known this wasn't your dream, it was mine
I know you wanted me to give up this life to be
Everything I was back when you had the hands my heart was in

[Chorus 1]
I was never good at goodbye

[Chorus 2]
Can I swallow this bottle whole?
So this brain in my head can forget your face

[Verse 2]
When we were starting out, you believed in me without a doubt
You were the finest thing to happen to a boy like me
It's so much harder now, I wanna try and tell you how
There is so much love in me, even though it's hard to see

[Chorus 1]
And I was never good at goodbye
[Chorus 2]
Can I swallow this bottle whole?
So this brain in my head can forget your face
Can I swallow this bottle whole?
Because I'd rather be dead than make more mistakes

[Verse 3]
Today I couldn't stay awake
Feels like I'm drowning in this firewater lake
I won't be sleeping much tonight
It's not the same without you lying by my side
(Right beside me)

[Chorus 2]

[Verse 4]
I know you wanted me to give up my life to be
(Can I swallow this bottle whole?)
Everything I am when you're the only thing that I can see
(Can I swallow this bottle whole?)
I'm sorry but you're not the, not the only one for me
(So this brain in my head can forget your face)

[Outro]
You left me here beside myself
Left me with all the reasons why I was wrong for you
