[Verse 1]

I've been buying myself flowers, crowning myself my own king

Hoping I can blindly make it better by pretending I didn’t destroy everything

Puttin' daffodils on fires and lavender on broken luck

I'm pretending I’m not drowning in my self-destruct

In my own fuck ups, in everything that I've done

I'm tryna hold myself up now, try hold myself up now

[Chorus]

Don't lean on me

Please, don't lean on me

I'm not the one you need, I'm

Barely standing on my own

Legs holding me, I've outgrown

This weight I cannot hold, so don’t

Don’t lean on me

[Verse 2]

You've been begging me for pieces, things that I can’t cut and paste

Stick you back together while I'm holding all these tethers

And I'm pulling myself in place

Puttin' daffodils on fires and lavender on broken luck

I’ll keep pretendin' I'm not drowning in my self-destruct

Can't find the words to let you know I'm hurting

So I'll just let it all burn 'cause I can't fix the things that I'm burning

[Chorus]

Don't lean on me

Please, don't lean on me

I'm not the one you need, I'm

Barely standing on my own

Legs holding me, I've outgrown

This weight I cannot hold, so don't

Don't lean on me

[Bridge]

Look at me sitting here talking to myself

The only person I lean on is nobody else

Who would've thought, who would've thought

That pushing everyone away wouldn't make 'em wanna stay?

[Chorus]

So please

Please don't lean on me

Please don't lean

'Cause caring makes it worse and I don't wanna hurt, so

Don't lean on me

Please, please

Don't lean on me
