You sat me down beside myself

To show me all the reasons I was wrong for you

Was this for real? It's hard to tell

'Cause it was such a beautiful mess we had got into

I'm gonna overcome this, paper hearts can't win this time

And all along I should have known this wasn't your dream, it was mine

I know you wanted me to give up this life to be

Everything I was back when you had the hands my heart was in

I was never good at goodbye...

Can I swallow this bottle whole?

So this brain in my head can forget your face

When we were starting out, you believed in me without a doubt

You were the finest thing to happen to a boy like me

It's so much harder now, I wanna try and tell you how

There is so much love in me, even though it's hard to see

And I was never good at goodbye...

Can I swallow this bottle whole?

So this brain in my head can forget your face

Can I swallow this bottle whole?

'Cause I'd rather be dead than make more mistakes

Today I couldn't stay awake

Feels like I'm drowning in this firewater lake

I won't be sleeping much tonight

It's not the same without you lying by my side

(Right beside me)

Can I swallow this bottle whole?

So this brain in my head can forget your face

Can I swallow this bottle whole?

'Cause I'd rather be dead than make more mistakes

I know you wanted me to give up my life to be

(Can I swallow this bottle whole?)

Everything I am when you're the only thing that I can see

(Can I swallow this bottle whole?)

I'm sorry but you're not the, not the only one for me

(So this brain in my head can forget your face)

You left me here beside myself

Left me with all the reasons why I was wrong for you
