melancholia

Almost everyday there's another problem
And I don't gotta therapist to help me solve them
I don't tell no one this, but when I was young and blitz
I'd cry alone and watch the flowers blossom

I waste my time thinking about who?
I can't sit here and pretend I'm not missing you
Told myself before you pull that trigger, think it through
Everytime I take a picture, I would think of you

I've been falling but I'm in too deep
I'd do anything to go back to when you were into me
Take me to court I'd do anything for a plea
I wanna go way back when you liked me for me

Always wondering to myself am I wasting my teens
Chasing a girl like she's one of my dreams
People ask then, 'like why don't you tell her?'
Can't just say, 'oh, it's like having my arteries severed'

Can't hear shxt because my music full blast
Didn't see it coming because my phone screen black
Ask who she was like oh yeah, she passed
She didn't really but she may aswell have

I've been falling but I'm in too deep
I'd do anything to go back to when you were into me
Take me to court I'd do anything for a plea
I wanna go way back when you liked me for me

If there was anything I could do, I'd do it for you
But that's like pulling the trigger, gotta think it through
I hope from now every picture I take, it's including you
