Piece by piece, I build my world
I’m consumed by heartache and hurt
Pacing quick, I’m losing it
Sail away, sail away.
Over my body, over the curses here, here.
Where’s the hiding place?
I’m drowning in these melancholy waves,
Tryna get back to love,
She said “I’ll hold you close until tomorrow”
Hold steady on me, just hold steady on me.
I’m alone with my voices and my vices,
I forget to breathe.
Tried to figure it out, I was wondering If I’m just me, or unappealing?
He said “how you feel isn’t what it is,
You spend your life in hell, when you could be living”
Where’s the hiding place?
I’m drowning in these melancholy waves,
Tryna get back to love,
She said “I’ll hold you close until tomorrow”
Hold steady on me, just hold steady on me.
These tales of all the misfits we lost,
Heartbreak was always coming for us,
I’m sorry that you never felt enough. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.
Where’s the hiding place?
I’m drowning in these melancholy waves,
Tryna get back to love,
She said “I’ll hold you close until tomorrow”
Hold steady on me, just hold steady on me.
