lyrics

I can feel it’s different
It’s harder now to sleep
Feigning signs of interest
Try to not get in too deep
Let it go

Sorting through the wreckage
Can’t mistake the ones who led you
Into crashing waves so tall
Gaslit into thinking it’s all your own fault

If reason fails
And trying hard to do right isn’t good enough
If defenses start to fall
And I need a friend who can see through the end
Will you be there
Be there

I can hear the thrashing shore
When distractions go away
Begging for some answers
That tell me it’s okay
Wanting more

Sorting through this madness
Thought you knew it all, you had this
But when they pull at a thread
Your whole world crashes down
Thoughts echo inside your head like

Do I have the right
To burden you with me
Maybe I should go
Slip out quietly
Was this a mistake
Can I handle this alone
I don’t need your help
But I don’t want you to go

If reason fails
And trying hard to do right isn’t good enough
(Good enough)
If defenses start to fall
(Fall)
And I need a friend who can see through the end
Will you be there
Be there
