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

I watched the poster boy image of myself
Drown my heart and soul in an empty, lifeless shell
I’m shards of broken glass and dreams of who I’d be
But a piecemeal man to show my family
“So throw your dreams away and make yourself a plan”
That’s what they said, but I don’t think I can
I’d push this life aside to feel alright, but I’d never live to see
Myself become everything I never want to be
But I’ll write poetry
And be the man I know I need to be
I’ll hold my breath and close my eyes
With a leap of faith I know that I’ll survive
Because no matter where they’ll be
You’ll always know where to find me
But I’ll write poetry
And be the man I know I need to be
I’ll hold my breath and close my eyes
With a leap of faith I know that I’ll survive
