​this is what not belonging feels like

[Intro]
I've been cornered by all of the highs
Trying to fail so I'm not left behind

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've got too many flaws in my mind
Hiding to fix what's all in the right
Way when it turns into nights
Where I would go to cry myself to sleep

[Chorus]
When the bottles are empty
And I'd find it hard to revisit
A time when I felt understood
But I ask if you would not assume
Before I try to show you what I'm made of lies
Overtaking my own little life
That I have hesitated to show you
'Cause I'm scared of breaking apart, uh‚ uh‚ uh

[Verse 1]
And I know the troubles I face are as dark
As the people who think they would know who we are
And are they real or am I just playing a part?
Caught me stealing names I could use in a while‚ in a while

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've got too many flaws in my mind
Hiding to fix what's all in the right
Way when it turns into nights
Where I would go to cry myself to sleep

[Chorus]
When the bottles are empty
And I'd find it hard to revisit
A time when I felt understood
But I ask if you would not assume
Before I try to show you what I'm made of lies
Overtaking my own little life
That I have hesitated to show you
'Cause I'm scared of breaking apart, uh, uh‚ uh

[Chorus]
When the bottles are empty
And I'd find it hard to revisit
A time when I felt understood
But I ask if you would not assume
Before I try to show you what I'm made of lies
Overtaking my own little life
That I have hesitated to show you
'Cause I'm scared of breaking apart, uh, uh‚ uh
