Lyrics:

Problem with starting halfway through is  you don't understand and it gets you

One way to ensure they stay is to hold their hand the whole damn way down

I don't  need to hear your voice to know you're standing on the outside looking in

I don't need to see your face to know that you escaped first chance you got

I've lived this life, I know what I

Don't believe me, and don't leave me here

Don't believe me, and don't leave me here

Keep them close 'cause they will fuck you too

I  will keep you close

I  got nothing better to do with you, I'd leave you too

Don't believe me, and don't leave me here

Don't believe me, and don't leave me here

'Cause  I will miss you, and without you

I will never be whole, I will never be full again

She misses you like I used to

Like  I still do, oh you, oh you

So you're sitting here at night thinking those simple thoughts

I hope you're happy with what you got

'Cause it might be simple, a little stubborn too

But I know I could not live without you

I am stronger than anything other than love

I'm fighting for you, I'm fighting for love

Oh and hollow painted swimming pools

She drowns herself to spite you

I won't lie to you, I said they lie to you

Oh, can you hear my voice shaking?

Can you hear me? I am waiting

I'm waiting and shaking, shaking and waiting for you

I'm waiting for you

So don't leave me, and don't believe me please

And don't believe me, don't leave me here

'Cause I will miss you, and without you

I will never be whole, I will never be full again

And without you I will never be whole, I will never be full again

Don't believe me and don't leave me here

'Cause I will miss you
