lyrics

And I can't commit
Before I even start I tell myself to quit
By day I feel okay but these feelings creep while I lay
in solitude on top of untidy sheets
And I wish I could take back the love that I gave cause I didn't save enough to last myself till the grave

Will I ever make up my mind?
Or will I sit here in silence conflicted and paralyzed?
My voice is black and blue
All my words just come out bruised

So desperately I want to feel what I once felt before
But I can't see anyone that way anymore
Too trapped in my introverted head
To take risks and realize what I should've said

Will I ever make up my mind?
Or will I sit here in silence conflicted and paralyzed?
My voice is black and blue
All my words just come out bruised

I’m trying to create a coexistence (I can’t commit to anything at all)
Stuck between a dreamer and a realist (I guess I’ll just quit)

And I wish I could take back the love that I gave cause I didn't save enough to last myself till the grave

Will I ever make up my mind?
Or will I sit here in silence conflicted and paralyzed?
My voice is black and blue
All my words just come out bruised
