[Intro]
You pick your skin for when you’re tryna deal with everything
I couldn’t help you so I guess I would just let it ring
But I know that this wasn’t meant for me
But I don’t know how it would make you
I couldn’t show you I guess it would be in the way
In hollow times that were just never built and never made
And I know you put it on to me
And unarmed, I would release, but

[Chorus]
Take me back to how it wasn’t
And how I should’ve had emotion
You tried your best in the clarity
But I don’t think I want your empathy
Take me how you want to be then
I don’t want to keep relieving you
Of all the trust that you instill in me
'Cause I don’t think I want to remember me
Well if it’s all we got, oh
Well I can’t see it out, oh, oh
Well if it’s all we got, oh, oh
Well I can’t let you down, oh

[Verse]
And there’s another piece apart of it that tried to be in for me
But I don’t wanna let you know that it was just empty
All the time that we could have known then
All in while to say I’m sorry
So just tell me what your empathy is
All in how I could release it
When you want it, I’ll be there
I turn my back all on their eyes
Tell me what you think that you
Will help you when you need too
I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind
If we could rewind, would we just be aight?
[Chorus]
Take me back to how it wasn’t
And how I should’ve had emotion
You tried your best in the clarity
But I don’t think I want your empathy
Take me how you want to be then
I don’t want to keep relieving you
Of all the trust that you instill in me
'Cause I don’t think I want to remember me
If it’s all we got, oh
Well I can’t see it out, oh, oh
Well if it’s all we got, oh, oh
Well I can’t let you down, oh
