lyrics

Was I wrong to tell you everything
Are you glad I did
I just want to hold you in my arms and pretend
there not a war in my head

You think think it's easy
Think i'm weak
Think i'm running away from myself (and every single thing)
But I can't, and I wont sit here and pretend like I wasn't made for more

And i'm trying, i'm trying to get this right
(Like the first time that you walked in and out of my life)
And i'm wishing, i'm wishing for a second try
For a second try

Yeah

Maybe I could be all right
If I just got this feeling (just got this feeling right)
Your presence here says i'm worth it
But I know just where to stick those feelings
Every single time

And i'm trying, i'm trying to get this right
Like the first time that you walked in and out of my life
And i'm wishing, i'm wishing for a second try
This Life that you gave I never asked for
And i can't, i don't sleep at night
This Life that you gave I never asked for
Please tell me, please tell me it's alright
Tell me its alright

Where were you when I needed you most
When I was all alone
Where were you then when I couldnt
when I couldn't even breathe
Where were you when I needed you most
When I was all alone
Where were you then when I couldnt
when I couldn't even breathe

And i'm trying, i'm trying to get this right
(This life that you gave, i never asked for)
And i'm wishing, i'm wishing for a second try
(This life that you gave, I didn't ask for this)

I never asked for this
I should've walked from this
