If I Close My Eyes, I Can Forget Suffocating
[verse]
When I stop breathing, I’ll let go of you
If I’m just subpar, then I'll have to make do
Survive the evening, paint my cold lips blue
Tie knots ‘round my heart, rip my throat in two
[chorus]
I stay awake, all night, all night
Feed the pain, but I can’t cry, can’t cry
Brave the rain, it’s all right, all right
Make mistakes, make mistakes
Remember your face, breathe easy, easy
Gather empty space, set me free, me free
Keep my place, don’t leave me, leave me
Don’t disagree, don’t disagree
[verse]
I can’t earn your love, but I can’t go without
I'm only fourteen and I’ve already drowned
If there’s no sky above, how do I live now?
You don’t hear my screams, but they echo around
[chorus]
I stay awake, all night, all night
Feed the pain, but I can’t cry, can’t cry
Brave the rain, it’s all right, all right
Make mistakes, make mistakes
Remember your face, breathe easy, easy
Gather empty space, set me free, me free
Keep my place, don’t leave me, leave me
Don’t disagree, don’t disagree
