I can't leave us in the past tense
I tried but you're pulling me in
Every time you call me you're asking
If I'm alright but you know it depends

If I'm lost inside my head
How can I see where I'm supposed to go
I'm looking for a way out of this mess
I pieced together and called my home
I wish it was easy to pretend
I'm happy sleeping on my own
I don't want to need you here in bed
Just to be better off tomorrow

I poured my thoughts out but I won't send
I know you care just need more time to grow
I just want to tell you how I'm feeling
A part of me says you already know

That I've been lost inside my head
I can't see where I'm supposed to go
I'm looking for a way out of this mess
I pieced together and called my home
I wish it was easy to pretend
I'm happy sleeping on my own
I don't want to need you here in bed just to be
Better off tomorrow

You can find me reaching for roses
Knowing full well that they are riddled with thorns
I try to fight my impulses every time I find myself falling for
You can find me reaching for roses
Knowing full well that they are riddled with thorns
I try to fight my impulses every time I find myself even more

Lost inside my head
I can't see where I'm supposed to go
I'm looking for a way out of this mess
I pieced together and called my home
I wish it was easy to pretend
I'm happy sleeping on my own
I don't want to need you here in bed just to be
Better off tomorrow
