You sat me down beside myself   To show me all the reasons, I was wrong for you   Was this for real, it's hard to tell   'Cause it was such a beautiful mess we had got into      I'm gonna overcome this   Paper hearts can't win this time   And all along I should have known   This wasn't your dream, it was mine      I know you wanted me   To give up this life to be   Everything I was back when you   Had the hands, my heart was in      I was never good at goodbye      Can I swallow this bottle whole   So this brain in my head can forget your face?      When we were starting out   You believed in me without a doubt   You were the finest thing   To happen to a boy like me      It's so much harder now   I wanna try and tell you how   There is so much love in me   Even though it's hard to see      And I was never good at goodbye      Can I swallow this bottle whole   So this brain in my head can forget your face?   Can I swallow this bottle whole   'Cause I'd rather be dead than make more mistakes?      Today I couldn't stay awake   Feels like I'm drowning in this firewater lake   I won't be sleeping much tonight   It's not the same without you lying by my side   Right beside me      Can I swallow this bottle whole   So this brain in my head can forget your face?   Can I swallow this bottle whole   'Cause I'd rather be dead than make more mistakes?      I know you wanted me to give up my life to be   (Can I swallow this bottle whole?)   Everything I am when you're the only thing that I can see   (Can I swallow this bottle whole?)   I'm sorry but you're not the, not the only one for me   (Can I swallow this bottle whole?)   So this brain in my head can forget your face      You left me here beside myself   Left me with all the reasons, I was wrong for you
