I know I had an attitude
I was trying to be better for you
It kept my head above the water
From drowning in a river of blues

I am burning out on empathy
I am finding it hard to believe
That everything I got to do
I am always running back to you

I could be better
I could be stronger
But only for you
Sooner or later
I will be someone
But only for you

She slowly does it
Throws everything away
Put out the fire
Go easy on my pain

I am hopelessly lonely
I have been burning out for days
I am slowly learning
I have loved you
In every way

I know I promised better things
I never though you were leave
I understand that time is on our side
And I hope you can breathe

I could be better
I could be stronger
But only for you
Sooner or later
I will be someone
But only for you

She slowly does it
Throws everything away
Put out the fire
Go easy on my pain

I am hopelessly lonely
I have been burning out for days
I am slowly learning
I have loved you
In every way

I could be better
I could be stronger
But only for you
