[Verse 1]
I'm startin' to get this drunk thing
I'm copin' my thoughts out the same dang strain
'Ready this mornin' I've done 'bout fifteen things
'Fore you got here I was up at 5 A.M
OCD, let me do this one thing only
Yeah, I'll be down to sing, where do I stand?
Ask me how long I'll let this thing on me
It's all part of the game
[Chorus]
I'm bleedin' at night
Have no one to blame (Bleeding and)
Paid for some balance, but turned up the same
We're eatin' the night up, keep walkin' this way
I'm beaten, I'm battered, reluctant to change, ooh
[Post-Chorus]
Your eggs over easy show that you're shady
There's some things that I can't explain, no I
How have I become so accustomed to sayin'?
Certain things I'd never say
[Refrain]
I'm bright-eyed, and when I think of you I
I might, I shed a tear?
You've been holdin' me down better than most of my fears, so
I'm proud of the differences in-between
When I was the reason that you felt seen
We're part of the same piece, so you keep doing this to me
Oh, yeah
[Verse 2]
Oh, you got some big dreams?
I wish I could be there, but we no longer speak
I got some painful things built into my foundation
Could I do it again
And no matter what you say, at least I'm honest
It was just time for me to pick some better hobbies
This game only makes more problems
There's no need for Visa
We could probably charge it
[Chorus]
I'm bleedin' at night
Have no one to blame (Bleeding and)
Paid for some balance, but turned up the same
We're eatin' the night up, keep walkin' this way
I'm beaten, I'm battered, reluctant to change, ooh
[Post-Chorus]
Your eggs over easy show that you're shady
There's some things that I can't explain, no I
How have I become so accustomed to sayin'?
Certain things I'd never say
[Refrain]
I'm bright-eyed, and when I think of you I
I might, I shed a tear?
You've been holdin' me down better than most of my fears, so
I'm proud of the differences in-between
When I was the reason that you felt seen
We're part of the same piece, so you keep doing this to me
Oh, yeah
[Verse 3]
You're taken enough shit from our life's tragedies
But this ain't an easy hit, you gotta come swingin'
But we ain't no simple defeat
You it's still just you and me, I swear
