lyrics

I feel like I'm the only one in the world
Who gets to feel a love like yours.
Maybe luck was on my side,
Or maybe this is something more.

I hope you don't get too attached,
I've been known for breaking things I loved to have.
I hope you don't get bored too fast,
Don't you ever look back.

What am I supposed to do when everyone around is competing for you?
Why should I even try when nothing ever seems to go my way.

Take it back to the day where I first found you(I was so depressed)
Your hand belonged to someone else's(and this is what was going through my head
I think I'm dying hear today(I'm so over-dramatic)
I wanted you to dress for me.
Yet there you stood on someone else's tennis shoe laces.

I think that I'm afraid to be the man you need me to be.
I guess I'm scared that you would leave if you knew the real me.
Maybe that's why I can't stand to look you in the eyes when I'm asleep.
When I'm dreamin' I just want to hide from my reality.

Where do we go from here?
My mind's messed up with twisted fears that you might leave me here alone..

Oh take me, still these demons when I sleep.
Someone save me, I'm not who I'm supposed to be.
Oh take me, still these demons when I sleep.
Someone save me, I'm not who I'm supposed to be.
Oh take me, still these demons when I sleep.
Someone save me, I'm not who I'm supposed to be.

Take it back to the day where I first found you.
Your hand belonged to someone else's(and this is what was going through my head
I think I'm dying hear today(I'm so over-dramatic)
I wanted you to dress for me.
Yet there you stood on someone else's tennis shoe laces.

Take it back to the day where I first found you(I was so depressed)
Your hand belonged to someone else's(and this is what was going through my head
I think I'm dying hear today(I'm so over-dramatic)
I wanted you to dress for me.
Yet there you stood on someone else's tennis shoe laces.
