I've been trying harder to walk straight
And stay away from deep thoughts for both our sakes
All that's left is nothing left to say
Because this hit me like a

Tidal wave
There's not a chance in hell I'd make the same mistakes
You couldn't grit your teeth just for another day
You left me here alone
I was so young and afraid
(Young and afraid)

Yeah, I tried writing letters to myself
To get my darkest fears on surfaces less fragile than my chest
I wish the best but I'll admit
I lay awake in wonder
If you could read them now
What would you say

Say to me
There's not a chance in hell I'd make the same mistakes
You couldn't grit your teeth just for another day
You left me here alone
I was so young and afraid
(Young and afraid)

Patiently at the end of the rope I barely know
When life was split between the days that I can't sleep
At times it seems that's all I need
Well did you ever listen
If you could hear me now
I'd tell you

Stay away
I gave up a past that lead me to my own disease
It won't rip us apart like the

Tidal wave
There's not a chance in hell I'd make the same mistakes
You couldn't grit your teeth just for another day
You left me here alone
I was so young and afraid
(Young and afraid)
