lyrics:
i can be a burden baby i can be a psycho
they called me a mistake
and wrote me off like a typo
and life just keep on hitting me
i swear that imma fight though
so hit me with your best shot,
staring down the rifle

i’ve been looking back riding on my motorcycle
i remember nights when i was feeling suicidal
i was falling out boy, dead on arrival
couldn’t see the signs, i was living in denial

i’m on the edge
you’re in my head, so

tell me you need me
even when you don’t
i don’t know when this will end
tell me you’ll stay now
even if you won’t
baby we can play pretend

i guess that what i’m saying is
i’m scared of going back
i remember every struggle every panic attack
you saw the life inside my eyes
fade away over time
i couldn’t pick up guitar
i couldn’t think of a rhyme

i needed something to believe in,
somewhere that i could hide
they told me i should stop pretending
always kept it inside
and i was hoping these emotions
were a lack of serotonin
never thought that my own brain
could ever turn to an opponent

tell me you need me
even when you don’t
i don’t know when this will end
tell me you’ll stay now
even if you won’t
baby we can play pretend

are you ok
tell me are you ok
nothing to say now
waiting for a breakdown
are you ok
tell me are you ok

tell me you need me
even when you don’t
i don’t know when this will end
tell me you’ll stay now
even if you won’t
baby we can play pretend
