lyrics

Take it off my back
Tell me what I lack
They told me shoot your shot but
Read between the lines
Vomit my insides
Think I need target practice

Take away everything I used to say
I think maybe we could feel the same
Gave away all the shame
That I used to try to tame
All in hopes that you’d still know my name

Tell me I fucked up
Wish me better luck
Repairing my own self worth
I’ll pour it down the drain
Remember it’s a game
Forget I ever asked you

Take away everything I used to say,
I think maybe we could feel the same,
Gave away all the shame,
That I used to try to tame,
All in hopes that you’d still know my name

With you I’d be on my best behavior
I’d keep my cool in front of your friends
Each day with you I know I would savor
And if we fight I’ll be first to make amends

With you I’d be perfectly content
My eyes won’t leave for anyone else
Too bad I’m not more confident
Instead I’m stuck here playing myself

Take away everything I used to say
I think maybe we could feel the same
Gave away all the shame
That I used to try to tame
All in hopes that you’d still know my name
