lyrics

I will let you down
But wIll you still stick around?
Even through the hardest parts?
To stay laughing in the dark

I'm afraid we will forget
Each other and what we always thought it meant
To keep such a secret
So close to my chest
I light you up to help myself again

Where do I begin to show you I’m all in?

My love feels so obvious
But it only leaves you oblivious
I don’t deserve you at all
I’m in my head again
And you’re right there to mend it
I don’t deserve you at all

I will let you down
But wIll you still stick around?
Even through the hardest parts?
To stay laughing in the dark
