Trees Lyrics

You tell me how
You're broken holding on too tight
You say your life
Is dark but let me show you some light

You're not as bad
As you make yourself believe
Just follow me

Take the rest of me
It's all I've got
I keep trying to be
Everything that I'm not
If you could see
What I see in your eyes
Would you kindly
Keep me broke; hold me tight

Here we go again
The same old wreck
We've been stuck in
These cycles work like circles
In our heads
But we just try to break free

I'm a mess and when
I get on track I'm lost again
You said I'm always perfect
But tell me is this worth it?

Take this from me
Close your eyes
Fall asleep
Take this from me
Close your eyes
Fall asleep

Take the rest of me
It's all I've got
I keep trying to be
Everything that I'm not
If you could see
What I see in your eyes
Would you kindly
Keep me broke; hold me tight
