I still don’t let my close ones
close to me
And my hand still shakes
till it pours itself a drink
I still let these ghosts get the best
and the most of me
And the best I can do still
ain’t good enough for me
Wake me up
sit me down
Gimme a reason not to burn this town
Cuz them voices
in the dark yah been getting loud
Give me shelter from the rain
Tell me I’m worth more than my pain
thought I’d be somebody new
this time around
or at least be better by now
better by now
better by now
I still draw my blood
when I don’t find the words to speak
I still ask for grace
from a god I don’t believe
I still hold my tongue
even tho it’s killing me
But I still tell myself
it’s the way it’s supposed
the way it’s supposed to be
So wake me up
sit me down
Gimme a reason not to burn this town
Cuz them voices
in the dark yah been getting loud
Give me shelter from the rain
Tell me I’m worth more than my pain
thought I’d be somebody new
this time around
or at least be better by now
better by now
better by now
And these voices
And these choices
They both weigh me
Weigh me
Weigh me down
Wake me up
sit me down
Gimme a reason not to burn this town
Cuz them voices
in the dark yah been getting loud
Give me shelter from the rain
Tell me I’m worth more than my pain
thought I’d be somebody new
this time around
or at least be better by now
better by now
better by now
