I've been starin' in the rear view
Swervin' thru the stars to find a world I couldn't give to you
You needed words of affirmation that I never promise you
Yet I'm stuck sitting tongue tied and that just isn't enough for you
Well I admit that I've been running away
It's like it's fight or flight like every time you need me to stay
When I was at my worst you told me nobody's worthless
We all have a purpose
I hope I'm still worth it for you
My light in the dark
Soothing the endless black hole in my heart
I hate to admit my hurt tears us apart
If you don't get these lyrics please hold the applause
Hold the applause
Couldn't say it straight I had put it in a song yeah
Hope it sounds good even if it's really wrong bae
I'm so grateful you hangin' on bae
On the real you keepin' me strong bae
When I wanna give up you wanna hold on
But I feel out of place right where I belong
As I pace on this pier by the Atlantic Ocean
I contemplate something
But I just do nothing at all
I fail and I fail and I fail
And I fail and I fail and I fail
Yet I never can fall
I wish I could tell you it all
Oh bae you should know how I wish I could tell you that
I've been starin' in the rear view
Swervin' thru the stars to find a world I couldn't give to you
You needed words of affirmation that I never promise you
Yet I'm stuck sitting tongue tied and that just isn't enough for you
Well I admit that I've been running away
It's like it's fight or flight like every time you need me to stay
When I was at my worst you told me nobody's worthless
We all have a purpose
I hope I'm still worth it for you
Wake up every day in a different city
I tire I ache but the view is so pretty
I'm too scared to blink scared my life might just miss me
Treat my life as a game and I'm so sick of playing
Another sunrise on this rooftop in Brooklyn
I've come way too far in this city to lose it
But I'm not okay who the f*ck am I fooling
I gave you my best you're vindictive and ruthless
Where did our lines go
Baby where did the time go
We grew up too fast
A hollow shell of my past
And as I walk on this tightrope
With no room to fumble
I need you so bad
So tell me when you'll come back
I've been starin' in the rear view
Swervin' thru the stars to find a world I couldn't give to you
You needed words of affirmation that I never promise you
Yet I'm stuck sitting tongue tied and that just isn't enough for you
Well I admit that I've been running away
It's like it's fight or flight like every time you need me to stay
When I was at my worst you told me nobody's worthless
We all have a purpose
I hope I'm still worth it for you
