flowers grow where soil was
but so do weeds
i thought I wAs starting to bloom
i never Made it where i wanted to be
So can i please
take a fucking second To bReathe
Or are we
not eNtitled to our insecurities
i'll try i'll try i'll try i'll try i'll try
to be to be to be to be to be
the best the best the best for me
i've Got a long way to go
gotta long way to go
I'll try to be the oNe
to hold Me up
i'll trY tO Watch the suN
and learn from the sky and moon and stars up above
but can i love
the person that i guess i have become
What Am i made of
and can i use it to prove that i'm strong enough?
i'll trY i'll try i'll try i'll try i'll try
to be to be to be to be to be
the best the best the best for me
i've got a long way to go
gotta long way to go
so when i say sorry
please excuse the lie
and when i say i'm hurting
please don't watch me cry
i'm gonna be vocal
about what's going on
i'm gonna be vocal
and talk about what's wrong
i'll try i'll try i'll try i'll try i'll try
to be to be to be to be to be
the best the best the best for me
i've got a long way to go
until i really feel at home

so lay me down

unfold your thoughts about me send the paper airplane over the sea dive in, and burn it all up
All your love for me has turned to dust
you're still the same
so tie me up
tell me you thought i was good enough
you're still the same
i know you told me
i know you said we'd meet again
i know you told me
i know you said we'd meet again oh you know you told me
you know you said we'd meet again
you packed me up with Cotton and glass you told me that you knew that i would last you sent me off to somewhere far away my bones aRe broken now, my body decayed bUt i'm not the Same
so i'll burn your name
and say i've always been good enougH and i'll stay this way
