[Intro]
Ah, ah, ah
[Verse 1]
Hear me
Calling out, calling out for you
Catch me
Fading out, fading out of view
Lost myself in the heat of it all
Cried online, threw my phone at the wall
Life's a bitch, take care of yourselves
Please, take care of yourselves
Yeah, take care of yourselves
[Interlude]
Ah, ah (Woo), ah
[Verse 2]
Hold me
Closer than, closer than your truth
Stop me
From burning out, burning out my youth
Kiss me, love, like you wanna believe

Learning how to live and let go
Of the only lonely ache in my head (Woo)
I'm picking flowers in a junkyard
I'm seeing beauty in the darkness waving
Learning how to live and let go
Of the only lonely ache in my head
