[Verse 1]
I let go the rest you know
I'm afraid to let myself be frightened, oh love
I could have my reasoning
Just to let this season and those bygones
Be bygones
I write songs to wake me
Every chorus breaks me apart, my heart

[Verse 2]
I'm already on my feet
What dance do you want of me?
I might as well just hold my demons
Am I right or am I wrong?
I get sick of all my songs
Don't sing the words, just read between them
I play till my fingers bleed
Just to get you out of me
Just to get you on those pages

[Chorus 1]
I'll make it up to me
I'll make it up to me
I'll make it up to me

[Verse 3]
I wrote down a symphony
Just to take my mind off all the leaving
I've done
I can't paint it out of me
All I get is bruises on my knees and my thumb
I try hard to leave it, but I cannot write myself a story I like
[Verse 4]
I don't want to be the best
I am weary, let me rest
I'm going to wait right here for no one
I'm the reason I can't sleep
I got all my baby teeth
All buried underneath my grown ones
Oh, I fear the races run
I'm afraid of everyone
I get scared of all this breathing

[Chorus 2]
I give up
I'm going to live if it kills me
I give up
I'm going to live if it kills me
I give up
I'm going to live if it kills me
I give up
I'm going to live if it kills me
I give up
I'm going to live if it kills me
I give up
I'm going to live if it kills me
I give up
I'm going to live if it kills me
I give up
I'm going to live if it kills me
I give up
I'm going to live if it kills me
