I'm trying not to move too fast
I'm trying not to hurt my heart
I've been pretty good at that
If I'm being honest, sleeping in an empty bed

I'm gonna leave my ex on read
Listen to what my therapist says
I'm gonna try, I promise

All the stuff, I know right now
It came from messing up most of my twenties
It's changed for now and I hope it lasts
I spent most of my life feeling quite empty

If you could stand back, I used to say that
I thought I needed space to find my balance
But I might need a hand and
If you could be that
I might need some help to find my balance
Balance
Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh

I'm tryna learn to love myself
And what's good for my mental health
I read a lot about self help
I'll never be polished

I see the cycles happening now
I'm responsible for shutting them down
It took a while to figure that out
But it's my job to stop it

There's lots of reasons I'm messed up
I grew up around things
That weren't that healthy
I'm working hard and it's looking up
If I stick to routines, it's gonna help me

If you could stand back, I used to say that
I thought I needed space to find my balance
But I might need a hand and
If you could be that
I might need some help to find my balance
Balance
Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh balance
Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh

If you could stand back, I used to say that
I thought I needed space to find my balance
But I might need a hand
So if you could be that
I might need some help to find my balance

Outro
If you could stand back, I used to say that
I thought I needed space to find my balance
But I might need a hand
So if you could be that
I might need some help to find my balance

I'm trying not to move too fast
I'm trying not to hurt my heart
'Cause I've been pretty good at that
If I'm being honest
