Pleading with myself just to get out of bed
why'm I always running all these questions through my head

hold my hand a little tighter
close your eyes, i'm not on fire
if i was i'd burn for you
just come to me a little closer
gotta tell you, full disclosure
i dont know whats left to do

i know i always ask for more
always crying on the floor
trust me, i dont want to be this way
so touch my cheek and dry my eyes
tell me everything’s alright
i promise if you want me to ill stay

Pleading with myself just to get out of bed
why'm I always running all these questions through my head
