[Verse 1]

I had dreams before you

Till you put me, put me, put me inside your box

And now you're waging holy wars to, oh

To make me, make me, make me something I'm not

[Pre-Chorus]

I just bit my tongue for far too long

And I won't walk the line you wanna draw

It's tearing me in two, is it enough

To become another arrow that I dodge?

[Chorus]

If I stay away (Away)

Would you only suffocate?

Bleed me out until I break?

I'm wide awake (Awake)

It's getting harder to pretend

It's you I won't resent

[Verse 2]

I forgot who I was before you

And I can't, and I can't, and I can't just pretend

All the red flags that I ignored, oh

Won't burn up and burn out, no, it's a dead end

[Pre-Chorus]

When you look, do you see half of me?

You bend my will to be just what you need

And maybe you won't follow your own dreams

But I don't need this like you needed me

[Chorus]

If I stay away (Away)

Would you only suffocate?

Bleed me out until I break?

I'm wide awake (Awake)

It's getting harder to pretend

It's you I won't resent

[Bridge]

You wanna sleep in my bed

Won't walk a mile in my shoes, oh

You wanna live in my head

Too bad you can't afford the view, ooh-whoa

[Pre-Chorus]

We'll make the same mistakes

[Chorus]

If I stay away (Away)

Would you only suffocate?

Bleed me out until I break?

I'm wide awake (Awake)

It's getting harder to pretend

It's you I won't resent

If I stay away (Away)

Would you only suffocate?

Bleed me out until I break?

I'm wide awake (Awake)

It's getting harder to pretend

It's you I won't resent
