(Verse 1)

I fit all these words into each line

Because I’m scared of not bringing enough value

I think my entire life

I’ve felt like the need to justify myself to you

You slip, you lose your grip

Holding on over the river just for kicks (is it time to let go?)

I wonder how we got to this point where we hate ourselves

Got convinced these were stories not to tell

(Chorus)

Cut yourself the slack you cut your friends

This is not, no this is not the end

Cut yourself the slack you cut your friends

This is not, no this is not the end

(Verse 2)

It starts so young, miscommunication, pressure

The world is sitting on your young shoulders

The truth is calling out from past your mental bubble

Pronouns caught, your heart drops, you realize that you love her

The world starts crumbling around you

Justify your right to exist, your right to live (don't you let go)

You wonder, should you be here at all?

It’d be easier to just walk

(Chorus)

Cut yourself the slack you cut your friends

This is not, no this is not the end

Cut yourself the slack you cut your friends

This is not, no this is not the end

(Bridge)

Fall apart, you know you do

Fall apart, but we do too

Fall apart, you know you do

Fall apart, but we do too

Fall apart, you know you will

Fall apart, but love yourself still

Fall apart, you know you do

Fall apart, but we do too

(Chorus)

Cut yourself the slack you cut your friends

This is not, no this is not the end

Cut yourself the slack you cut your friends

This is not, no this is not the end

Love yourself the way you love your friends

This is not, no this is not the end

Cut yourself the slack you cut your friends

This is not, no this is not the end
