[Verse 1: xona]

Have you been alright?

'Cause it feels like that’s no more

I see red a lot

I’m afraid if that’s my form

I know you care a lot

But I’m different down the core

Do you know the cost?

Of what you push behind the doors

But have you been alright?

'Cause it fucks with my mind too

When I walk this light

I don’t see, I don’t wanna go through

I won’t find my type

And you know that’s been the truth

Would you hold my side

So I know that I’m not screwed


[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: xona & sleepwater]

I can’t take more than you expect me to

Take everything away from me, 'cause I just know

That you’ll leave me

That you’ll leave me

That you’ll leave me

That you’ll leave me

(That you’ll leave me)

(Oh, I swear)

(Oh-oh, I swear)


[Verse 2: sleepwater]

Running 'round my head

Do not get close to me yet

Hanging on by a thread

Well you chose the end

I just want a friend

I just want you-

You chose the end

I hate you-

Her eyes light up my life

Saw you, I couldn’t think right

Her hair covers my sight

Her face has ruined mine

Don't change just stay alive

Don't say I'm on your mind

Too late when we had time

All I can say is you were mine


[Verse 3: xona]

(Day one)

I’d fuck up to put aside

I can’t take that pain to rid my mind of you

I can’t take it, I can’t take

I’d fall in love again

Flying in to close by death

Nothing but red reflex

Decide my only friends

One thousand miles away

We stand before that day

You drive this place to escape and I’m losing self in me

I’ve counted these hours on end

Staring at walls to pretend

That I’m feeling fine again

That I’m feeling fine again


[Outro]
