[Verse 1]

Maybe it's not my fault, maybe it's not yours

Maybe we're just not those people anymore

Maybe I don't love you, maybe I'm just bored

Pretty sure we both miss the way it was before


[Pre-Chorus]

Feeling like I'm

Feeling like I'm


[Chorus]

Barely

Barely alive

Feeling like I'm barely

Barely alive


[Verse 2]

Maybe if I moved on, I'd be happier

Find somebody new who kind of looks like you and make it work

There's nothing left to say here I haven't already heard

Silence is deafening and sorry's just a word


[Pre-Chorus]

Feeling like I'm

Feeling like I'm


[Chorus]

Barely

Barely alive

Feeling like I'm barely

Barely alive


[Post-Chorus]

I built this house, but it's not home

I lost myself when I let you go

I'm too young to be this old

Terrified I'm gonna die alone

Don't wanna die alone


[Chorus]

Feeling like I'm barely

Barely alive

Feeling like I'm barely

Barely alive


[Post-Chorus]

I built this house, but it's not home

I lost myself when I let you go

I'm too young to be this old

Terrified I'm gonna die alone

I'm gonna die alone


[Outro]

Barely

Barely alive (Don't wanna die alone)

Barely

Barely alive

Don't wanna die alone
