Say What You Want (Acoustic) Lyrics by Columbus

Next To Me

2017

I'm getting better at letting go
Sometimes I grip too hard
But we've held hands for too long and I'm feeling torn
Stuck in traffic at a crossroad
Under streetlights when we walk home
Sitting by the windowsill
The breeze pulls on your hair
I daydreamed of days spent with you
But know you never care
Tearing off this band-aid that I wear every day
Say what you want me to be, 'cause I'm just fine
The only time I tore my skin was when I let you in
Say what you want me to be, I'll be alright
I'll be alright
You were the deep-end in a shallow pool
Not much for a personality
Just pretending that you love me
It only stings for a little bit when I'm pulling you off my skin
And the off-white tone of the window sill that I know you sit by still
Waiting for me all alone
But I'm never coming home
Tearing off this band-aid that I wear every day
Say what you want me to be, 'cause I'm just fine
The only time I tore my skin was when I let you in
Say what you want me to be, I'll be alright
It's easy to see with hindsight
I should have known better
I should have known
Everything heals with time
And I've wasted long enough with you
There's nothing I can do
I'm better off with this scar tissue
Tearing off this band-aid that I wear every day
Say what you want me to be, 'cause I'm just fine
The only time I tore my skin was when I let you in
Say what you want me to be, I'll be alright
I'll be alright
Say what you want me to be, I'll be alright
I'll be alright
Say what you want me to be, I'll be alright
