​​make this work Lyrics by ​thebreathingbackwards

2019

Yeah, I know it's hard for you
I swear I'll understand the stress
And I know that you shut down a bit
When you don't feel your best
I see the way that you still persevere
And overcome this mess
And I'll be here to hold you close
When you decide you need some rest
But, I gotta say that I don't feel too great myself
I've been balancing so delicately over my own hell
Feel the flames get closer every time I think I might need help
So I'm vicariously comforting your soul with mine as well
Tryna end this suffering
Tryna end this battle we both fight
'Cause I'm so fucking sick of overthinking every night
Like, why can't I complete you?
Why can I do nothing right?
It's fucking tearing at my heart
To think that you might leave my side If I fuck up again
And that's the reason I can't stop
I know I let my fear take over
But I'm scared of getting dropped
And I'd anything to make you smile
I know that I'm a lot but I need you to understand
That even I don't love my thoughts, I'm overwrought

Alone in my bed, only me
I try but I'm too scared to sleep
I find a comfort in my hurt
But I'll die if we can't make this work
I hide from all my past mistakes
Pretend that my heart still won't break
I feel my tears run down my shirt
'Cause I'll die if we can't make this work
Alone in my bed, only me
I try but I'm too scared to sleep
I find a comfort in my hurt
But I'll die if we can't make this work
I hide from all my past mistakes
Pretend that my heart still won't break
I steal your teardrops in my shirt
To remind you that we will make this work
