lyrics

Why are you holding back on me, are you trying to drive me crazy?
I've been slipping through the cracks in my mind they've opened into canyons this time
You say things very plainly but I'm prone to overthinking
And you must admit it's not that crazy
Although that word seems to fit me lately

I'm not sentimental baby, I'm just fucking mental maybe
This time you won't be what's on my mind
I'm not broken hearted it's just best that I departed
Before I turn into a monster that I'm not
I can't stand to watch you be something you're not

I've been toeing the line between family and stranger, for a while
And since I moved back south it's sort of felt like handshakes, distance and polite smiles
You have been dishonest with me from the very get-go
And I'm finding that it's easier just to up and leave than gain back control

I've questioned the past six months of choice nearly daily
But it's only been the past six weeks I've heard my engine failing on me
I can't tell if you are really broken or just patronizing
But don't you give that look to me I'm falling apart at the seams

I'm not sentimental baby, I'm just fucking mental maybe
This time you won't be what's on my mind
I'm not broken hearted it's just best that I departed
Before I turn into a monster that I'm not
I can't stand to watch you be something you're not

So the bottom falls out once I've put it all together
Because I'm hung up on trying to plan for perfect weather
Due time to simplify this rollercoaster
But I'm trying to pull you closer, waking pissed off and hungover

This time you won't be what's on my mind
I'm not broken hearted it's just best that I departed
Before I turn into a monster that I'm not

And I'm not sentimental I'm just trying to be gentle
Though I can't explain to you exactly why
I'm not broken hearted but can we not get fucking started
I can't stand to watch you be something you're not
I can't stand to look and still can't bear the thought
