​death-grip Lyrics by Sam Nelson

why does everything make me cry?

2023

[Verse 1]
12 years
Hard to leave
Been going on 12 years
2 kids and a fixed rate mortgage
Slow feels
Tucked in to the bed at night, don't
Don't let the bed bugs bite, sleep tight
[Pre Chorus]
Smiling, and laughing in front of our friends
Sometimes I flinch when you hold my hand
[Chorus]
I'm right on the edge, but
I've got a death grip
Gravity calls but I can't let go
And this house is on fire
But I'm blocking the Exit
This indecision's got me by the throat
Try to tell you the truth and I choke
So I say 'I love you' when I don't
[Verse 2]
My fault
Can't help to think that it's all my fault
I let it get this far, and now
Gloves are off
I can't just walk away from
From this life we madе
It's too late
[Pre Chorus]
Trying, trying the best wе can
But I feel you flinch when you hold my hand
[Chorus]
I'm right on the edge, but
I've got a death grip
Gravity calls but I can't let go
And this house is on fire
But I'm blocking the Exit
This indecision's got me by the throat
Try to tell you the truth and I choke
So I say 'I love you' when I don't
I don't
Ooh
Yeah
[Bridge]
I'm right on the edge, but
I've got a death grip
Gravity calls but I can't let go
And this house is on fire
But I'm blocking the Exit
This indecision's got me by the throat
[Chorus]
I'm right on the edge, but
I've got a death grip
Gravity calls but I can't let go
And this house is on fire
But I'm blocking the Exit
This indecision's got me by the throat
Try to tell you the truth and I choke
So I say 'I love you' when I don't
When I don't
