I could have been less confident,
but I hate myself more than I thought.
So I tried to push myself out of a wall
that was made of bricks and regrets.
I needed some time, I had found the sea.
I know how to swim, but I was drowning
since you grabbed my legs. I'd
like to see you contemplate this picture
you won't figure out.
There's nothing that I'm gonna miss.
I was standing on a goddamn bridge
and I'm afraid of heights,
but you kept saying I was just pretending.
Out of this scene that's blank as this screen.
What you did to me I wish you times three.
The gentle boy died, hard to believe.
I could have been less confident.
No one breaks my heart.
At least mine never healed.
Sick of wasting time over things I wouldn't dwell on.
Wait outside where's colder than hell.
I'm not seventeen.
I'm not what you need.
I'm not paper dreams.
I'm not a bunch of leaves.
I'm not salty tears.
I'm not what you need.
Maybe I'm a coward once again.
I'm just not coming back again.
