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
Cuz 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
It 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
that happened to a boy like me
It's so much harder now
I wanna try and tell you how (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
Cuz 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
Cuz I'd rather be dead than make more mistakes

I know you wanted me
To give up my heart to be everything I am
And you're the only thing that I can see
I'm sorry, but you're 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 I was wrong for you
