[Bridge]
And you
You're gonna walk backwards through the room
Does that mean I won't see you?
It means you walk backwards
Through the room
[Verse 1]
Tiffany's crying
She's dying to make it out of this hell
I just laugh
Cause it was my job to be her help
But I'm in my bedroom
I found me a corner
Where friends won't debate my health
Like "how can he save some summer night
When he can't save himself"
[Chorus]
You've got to pick me up
C'mon and pick me up
When I am falling down
You've got to pick me up
[Verse 2]
Cut to December
How can a scalpel tear into skin
Revealing walks in the park
Lord how can a heart
Come from two separate organs
And you're gonna make this simple
Do you want to make me sweeter?
I know, I know, I know, I know
I'll let you down
I'll let you down
[Chorus x2]
(Prescriptions scripting a timeline
Swing sets, grade schools, and black eyes
First love, heartbreak, and true love
Mistakes, heartbreak, and true love)
[Bridge]
And you're gonna make this simple
Do you want to make me sweeter?
I know, I know, I know, I know
I'll let you down
I'll let you down
[Chorus x2]
(Prescriptions scripting a timeline
Swing sets, grade schools, and black eyes
First love, heartbreak, and true love
Mistakes, heartbreak, and true love)
