Why Do I

Manipulations, your face keeps changing
It drives me crazy each time (each time, each time)
You keep tryna save it, I keep misplacing
All of my sanity but in reality I make the same mistakes and never leave
I get lost at night, I don’t want to
I been drinking on, I don’t need to
My skin burns like cigarette paper
Misusing medication so I’m quick to lose my patience, yeah
I scream out
Why do I stay so busy loving someone other than myself?
Pledge allegiance to my future when my past keeps coming out
Walk on side ropes, oh the city’s too high up to hear your sound
Why do I, do I, do I, why do I, do I, do I
Decision-making, it’s not my strength and
I gotta make one this time (this time, this time)
'Cause I’m complacent ('cause I’m complacent) and your mistakes
taking all of my energy, feeding off of my instability
I get lost at night, I don’t want to
I been drinking on, I don’t need to
My skin burns like cigarette paper
right into the paper, saw the imprint of my face and I
I scream out, oh Lord, ah
Why do I stay so busy loving someone other than myself?
Pledge allegiance to my future when my past keeps coming out
Walk on side ropes, oh the city’s too high up to hear your sound
Why do I, do I, do I, why do I, do I, do I
Why do I, do I, do I, why do I, do I, do I
Why do I, do I, do I, do I, d-do I
wide open
Driving through the oceans
Found the darkest parts of me
For the first time, I can breathe
Running, still I’m floating
Speeding in slow motion
Found the darkest parts of me
For the first time, I can breathe
Why do I stay so busy loving someone other than myself?
Pledge allegiance to my future when my past keeps coming out
Walk on side ropes, oh the city’s too high up to hear your sound
Why do I, do I, do I, why do I, do I, do I
Why do I, do I, do I, why do I, do I, do I
Why do I, do I, do I, do I, d-do I
