Why am I obsessing about the things I can't control? Why am I seeking approval from people I don't even know? In these crazy times, I hope to find something I can cling on to 'cause I need some substance in my life, something real, something that feels true. You better believe for you, I've cried, I've cried, I've cried. High tides, high tides, high tides. 'Cause I want you so bad, but you can't fight fire with fire, oh. So I hope I learn to get over myself. Stop trying to be somebody else. Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free. Everybody wants something from me, you just want me.

My little love. I see your eyes widen like an ocean when you look at me so full of my emotions. I'm finding it hard to be here sincerely. I know you feel lost, it's my fault completely. Tell me you love me. I love you a million percent. I don't recognize myself in the coldness of the daylight so I ain't surprised you can read through all of my lies. I feel so bad to be here when I'm so guilty. I'm so far gone and you're the only one who can save mе. Oi, I feel like you don't love me. Why do you feel like that? Do you like me? You know mummy doesn't like anyone else like I like you, right? I'm holding on, barely. Mama's got a lot to learn, it's heavy. I'm holding on, catch me. Mama's got a lot to learn, teach me.

I built a house for a love to grow. I was so young that it was hard to know. I'm as lost now as I was back then. Always make a mess of everything. It's about time that I face myself. All I do is bleed into someone else. Painting walls with all my secret tears. Filling rooms with all my hopes and fears. But oh my, oh my I'll never learn if I never leap. I'll always yearn if I never speak. To be loved and love at the highest count means to lose all the things I can't live without. Let it be known that I will choose to lose. It's a sacrifice, but I can't live a lie. Let it be known, let it be known that I tried.

Hold on. You are still strong. Love will soon come. Just hold, hold on. Oh, what have I done yet again? Have I not learned anything? I don't want to live in chaos. It's like a ride that I want to get off. It's hard to hold on to who I am when I'm stumbling in the dark for a hand. I am so tired of battling with myself, with no chance to win. Hold on. Let time be patient. You are still strong. Let pain be gracious. Love will soon come. Just hold, hold on.

I'll be taking flowers to the cemetery of my heart for all of my lovers in the present and in the dark. Every anniversary, I'll pay respects and say I'm sorry for they never stood a chance as if they could. When no one knows what it's like to be us. I've never seen the sky this color before. It's like I'm noticing everything a little bit more now that all the dust has settled. I rebut all my rebuttals. No one knows what it's likе to be us. Strangers by nature. Strangers by nature.

How can one become so bounded by choices that somebody else makes? How come we've both become a version of a person we don't even like? We're in love with the world, but the world just wants to bring us down by putting ideas in our heads that corrupt our hearts somehow. When I was a child, every single thing could blow my mind. Soaking it all up for fun, but now I only soak up wine. They say to play hard, you work hard, find balance in the sacrifice. And yet I don't know anybody who's truly satisfied. You better believe I'm trying, trying, trying, to keep climbing, climbing, climbing. But the higher we climb feels like we're both none the wiser. So I hope I learn to get over myself. Stop trying to be somebody else so we can love each other for free. Everybody wants something, you just want me.

Mummy's been having a lot of big feelings recently. Like how? Just, like, hang on, my fingers are trapped. Like, um, I feel a bit confused. Why? I don't know. And I feel like I don't really know what I'm doing. Oh, at all? At all. And that would make me go. My little love, tell me, do you feel the way my past aches? When you lay on me, can you hear the way my heart breaks? I wanted you to have everything I never had. I'm so sorry if what I've done makes you feel sad. I love your dad 'cause he gave you to me. You're half me and you're half daddy. Oh. I'm holding on, barely. Mama's got a lot to learn, it's heavy. I'm holding on, catch me. Mama's got a lot to learn, teach me. I'm having a bad day, I'm having a very anxious day. I feel very paranoid, I feel very stressed. Um, I have a hangover, which never helps, but, I feel like today is the first day since I left him that I feel lonely. And I never feel lonely, I love being on my own. I always preferred being on my own than being with people. And I feel like maybe I've been, like, overcompensating. And being out and stuff like that to keep my mind off of him. And I feel like today, I'm home and I wanna be at home. I just wanna watch TV and curl up in a ball and be in my sweats and stuff like that, but I just feel really lonely. I feel a bit frightened that I might feel like this a lot.
