[Verse 1]

No I don’t understand

How I’m back here again

Just when I said I was done

Stopped putting effort in

Told myself it’s the end

Threw my life away all for what

All the walls are closing in

Losing all my oxygen

Can’t push a breath out my lungs

So how am I supposed to win

If I can’t even comprehend

How to make the right choice for once


[Pre-Chorus]

So I’m, hoping, that you could save me

This time, ‘fore all the memories fade

From your mind, can’t let this chance go to waste

‘Cause no matter what


[Chorus]

Know I’d cross the stars

To get through to you

Hold you in my arms ‘cause if you only knew

How much that I feel

The way that I do

And every road I take leads me to you

Know I can’t disguise

How much that I try

And constantly fail to keep you off my mind

So I’m signing off

This is my last goodbye

‘Cause without you here I’m only half alive

Only half alive


[Verse 2]

I said that this would be the start

A brand new life, I played the part

And acted like it’d all be fine

I figured it was worth the cost

And hoped that you had never caught

The fact that I’m still on decline

‘Cause all I’d do is set you off

If you knew how I really was

And had to deal with that all this time

So I just keep up my facade

To act like nothing’s ever wrong

And maybe you’ll stay in my life


[Pre-Chorus]

So I’m, hoping, that you could save me

This time, ‘fore all the memories fade

From your mind, I’ll do whatever it takes

‘Cause no matter what


[Chorus]

Know I’d cross the stars

To get through to you

Hold you in my arms ‘cause if you only knew

How much that I feel

The way that I do

And every road I take leads me to you

Know I can’t disguise

How much that I try

And constantly fail to keep you off my mind

So I’m signing off

This is my last goodbye

‘Cause without you here I’m only half alive

Only half alive


[Verse 3]

I guess that I’m too codependent

And convinced that you’ll leave by the ending

And there’s no way for me to prevent it

So I hold onto every second

By now I just have to accept it

That it’s your choice to make, I’ll respect it

And I know you tell me I’m wrong but it’s only so long

Before you stand corrected

I’m too codependent, I finally said it

And over my friends I get way too possessive

I’m spiralling over and over again

‘Cause I take the wrong words out of every message

I read it 10 times and that’s just the beginning

‘Cause I’ll overthink ’til the day that I’m dead and

Still probably after, ‘cause that’s where I’m heading

And anything that I do wrong, can’t forget it

And by now you’d think I’d be used to rejection

But look where that got me, a constant resentment

For myself and not all the people that left

Because how could I blame them, I have that effect

So I guess this the only way I can express it

‘Cause anything else hasn’t had much success and

I hope you know I truly wish you the best and

If you ever need me I’ll be in attendance


[Bridge]

Here we go, all alone

Take me back, to my home

Guess that I, should’ve known

I wasn’t ready for it all

So can we just, make it quick

Before I give in to the abyss

‘Cause after all, I admit

I’m not something I can fix


[Guitar Solo: Lil Angler]


[Chorus]

Know I’d cross the stars

To get through to you

Hold you in my arms ‘cause if you only knew

How much that I feel

The way that I do

And every road I take leads me to you

Know I can’t disguise

How much that I try

And constantly fail to keep you off my mind

So I’m signing off

This is my last goodbye

‘Cause without you here I’m only half alive

Only half alive


[Outro]

Only half alive

Only half alive
