lyrics
I wake up eight o'clock hungover with a sock on my door
And nobody there with me
I try to keep an appearance with the people that claim all that they want
Is to see me set free
I can dream about getting away from the people that made me
The way I am today
Because a life is a life without living when the people that made you
Want to keep you sane
Keep me alive
Or keep me gone
Because I can't hope
To stay this long
You want me happy
But you want me here
Because a total life crisis doesn't get a lot of traction
When you're stuck in second gear
I'm stuck painted in a corner of my life hot knife burning in my soul
And I'm doing fine
I'm realizing why I'm here, this fear, not real
What I got to do to make my life mine
Every day is a pain when there's nothing to gain
Your mind wanders and your hopeless dreams fade away
But my lowest was the moment I held myself up
Tough luck, unstuck, and I flipped the final page
Keep me alive
Or keep me gone
Because I can't hope
To stay this long
You want me happy
But you want me here
Because a total life crisis doesn't get a lot of traction
When you're stuck in second gear
This hope is alive, burning inside, a fire so bright
I thought it burnt out years ago
I'm living a lie, I climbed outside and realized the sky's so bright
And I know which way to go
I grab my guitar with the markings like a scar
With every piece of art that taught me to be this way
But you can't see the scars in my heart they burn so hot but
I'm out and it's a brand new day
You kept me alive
Now let me go
Because I'm self taught
In living alone
You wanted me happy
And you did your job
Because I'm doing what I love and I'm singing out loud
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go.. I'll be alright
I'll be just fine
