Can you call my lifeline, cause I give up

And I'll raise my white flag and just give in

Cause I'm barely breathing, got no reason for grieving, that's just how I feel

I'm just trying to be real

Wish I could turn the switch on, leave it on all damn day long

Get it tattooed on my arm just because they told me not to

Wish I could turn you all off, say it without going soft

But we all know that I'm not one to tell you who I've got to

Should I feel it, take it, break it, make it what you want

Lose it, choose it, find it, mine it, bruise it, use it, how you gonna

Should I feel it, take it, break it, make it what you want

Lose it, choose it, find it, mine it, bruise it, use it, how you gonna

Can you call my lifeline, cause I give up

And I'll raise my white flag and just give in

Cause I'm barely breathing, got no reason for grieving, that's just how I feel

I'm just trying to be real

I'm just trying to be real

Wish I believed the things I pray, nine times out of ten that's a cliche

What I wouldn't give for a replay, two AM and still no sleep in

The numbers and figures don't add up, but I'm not really sure if it matters

Cause lady love's full of disasters, five AM and still no sleep in

Should I feel it, take it, break it, make it what you want

Lose it, choose it, find it, mine it, bruise it, use it, how you gonna

Can you call my lifeline, cause I give up

And I'll raise my white flag and just give in

Cause I'm barely breathing, got no reason for grieving, that's just how I feel

I don't feel the pressure to be perfect forever, that's just how I feel

I'm just trying to be real

Oh, oh

I'm just trying to be real

Oh, oh

Yeah

I'm just trying to be real
