  • I must be honest
    Under the surface
    It grinds like a blender
    The sound of two voices
    My heart seems to fail me
    It put me in a stranger's bed
    It hurt who I love the most
    I'll never trust it again

    That's why I don't want what I want
    'Cause what I want, it just might kill me
    And I won't think of my needs
    'Cause what I need, I know there's never enough for me

    Envy is endless
    I used to put mistakes up on a board
    Compare how mine sticks
    Next to the rest of the worlds'
    That got me nowhere but miles from changing
    Now I've got deep stains
    And bleach won't erase them

    That's why I don't want what I want
    'Cause what I want, it just might kill me
    And I won't think of my needs
    'Cause what I need, I know there's never enough for me

    Call me on everything
    'Cause I can't see how it looks from your perspective
    Call me on everything 'cause I can't help myself
    And I need your protection from me
    I lose every time
    I lose every time
    I lose every time
    You think you're inspiring
    Posting slogans on a photo of the sky
    You're letting sleeping dogs lie
    It's not so simple as
    Do what makes you happy
    If that's the same thing
    That will destroy me

    That's why I don't want what I want
    'Cause what I want, it just might kill me
    And I won't think of my needs
    'Cause what I need, I know there's never enough for me
    I must be honest
    (For me)
    Under the surface
    It grinds like a blender
    (I know there's never enough for me)
    The sound of two voices
    My heart seems to fail me
    (For me)
    It put me in a stranger's bed
    It hurt who I love the most
    (What I need, I know there's never enough for me)
    I'll never trust it again Writer/s: Chad Gilbert, Cyrus Bolooki, Ian Grushka, Jordan Pundik
