[Intro]
Watch me as I break down
In the safe house that I built myself
I'm a letdown in the old town
I got nothing left to give
So I'm heading out back now of the old house
In a new town where I don't exist
'Cause I'm a letdown in my own house
I've got no more life to live
[Verse 1]
I need a lesson
They got a problem with the way I have a message
I wanna learn to feel the pain; I made a mess here
And their world keeps moving on
I let 'em chase me
Until they fall under my feet and then replace me
Another normal fever dream; I let it make me
And their world keeps moving on, and I'm so
[Chorus]
Over this overrated blood war
This understated cover
This automated lover
Singing, "I'm not coming home," now
Without my soul, alone now
Inside this hell, I know now
What they've been saying
Please don't stop me; I'm not going home
[Verse 2]
I let 'em break me
I let 'em come into my home and let it shake me
I let 'em burn the fear of love and let it hate me
But that fear is moving on, and I'm so
[Chorus]
Over this overrated blood war
This understated cover
This automated lover
Singing, "I'm not coming home," now
Without my soul, alone now
Inside this hell, I know now
What they've been saying
Please don't stop me; I'm not going home
[Bridge]
Break down on the way down, honey
Break up; I'm a lost boy, take it or leave
I'm not what my mother wanted
Heels tied down, and I'm not going
Hands up on the way down, honey
Break up; I'm a lost boy, take it or leave
I'm not what my mother wanted
Heels tied down, and I'm not going home now
Without my soul, alone now
Inside this hell, I know now
What they've been saying
Please don't stop me; I'm not going home
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Break down on the way down, honey
(Over this overrated blood war)
Break up; I'm a lost boy, take it or leave
(This understated cover)
I'm not what my mother wanted
(This automated lover singing)
Heels tied down, and I'm not going home now
Without my soul, alone now
(Break down on the way down, honey)
Inside this hell, I know now
(Break up; I'm a lost boy, take it or leave)
What they've been saying
(I'm not what my mother wanted)
Please don't stop me; I'm not going—
Over this overrated blood war
This understated cover
This automated lover
Singing, "I'm not going home"
