[Chorus]
Don't fall for me, don't fall onto me
How can I be strong for you?
I ain't even strong for me
Uncomfortably in love with me
I don't know how to say this
But I feel like I ain't even here, baby
Getting hot lately, I don't like talking when I feel so frustrated
So don't fall for me, don't fall onto me
How can I be strong for you?
I ain't even strong for me
[Verse 1]
Pour me something that's gon' have me feel a different way
I love you and I know you haven't heard that shit for days
You've been a real one, I know that I go too far
I'm colder now, I don't feel nothing
No reflection on who you are
Lord knows, I've been boxed out
Don't run but I'm tapping out
Drove me down, I'm crashing now
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I ride, ride, ride
I'm so tired, I'm tired
So tired of being the only one to fight, fight, fight
Oh my, my, my
On my life, my life
I'm so tired of being the only one to fight so
[Chorus]
Don't fall for me, don't fall onto me
How can I be strong for you?
I ain't even strong for me
Uncomfortably (Yeah) in love with me (Ah, yeah)
I don't know how to say this
But I feel like I ain't even here, baby
Getting hot lately, I don't like talking when I feel so frustrated
So don't fall for me, don't fall onto me
How can I be strong for you?
I ain't even strong for me
[Verse 2]
Maybe if I met you overseas, yeah
You wouldn't be so far into me, no
Only distant with you 'cause you see me
I hate it, but it makes it so much easier
I wish that I needed you
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I ride, ride, ride
I'm so tired, I'm tired
So tired of being the only one to fight, fight, fight
Oh my, my, my
On my life, my life
I'm so tired of being the only one to fight so
[Chorus]
Don't fall for me, don't fall onto me
How can I be strong for you?
I ain't even strong for me
Uncomfortably in love with me
I don't know how to say this
But I feel like I ain't even here, baby
Getting hot lately, I don't like talking when I feel so frustrated
So don't fall for me, don't fall onto me
How can I be strong for you?
I ain't even strong for me
[Outro]
I remember hearing you saying once
And-and I heard it and never forgot it
"Hurt people hurt people"
Gosh, if that isn't the truth
You see, what we all need to remember is
We're just broken homes in this world
And the only way forward is to build each other up
To make each other better

I could only write this song when I had reached a place of strength. It took a lot of strength to confess my faults so openly or even to become aware of them. Giving your love so generously and freely only to have ugliness returned really can break someone and cause them to be a colder person to the...
