[Verse 1]

Hey buddy

This isn't the end

I hope I might get to see you again

You gave me armor for the first time

I wore it like it was mine

We were warm

We were alive

My friend

I tried to find a reason to pretend

That it would feel like the last time

When I was yours and you were mine

Was I wrong?


[Chorus]

I don't deserve this

I was so earnest

I came to the surface

Thought it was worth it


[Verse 2]

Hey lover

Don't cry

I promise you there's nothing in my eyes

You showed me what I was missing

And now I'm just here wishing I was blind


[Chorus]

I don't deserve this

I was so earnest

You gave me a purpose

It was a little too perfect

I came to the surface

Thought it was worth it

Baby don't do this

Don't put me through this

You don't deserve me


[Outro]

I need you

But you won't want me

I can't breathe

Take your hands off me

I feel used

But you won't touch me

I need you

I can't breathe
