[Verse 1]
You’re fallin' further down but I’ve got you by a thread
I wrap the cord around my arms until my hands start to turn red
But it’s not enough, it won’t be enough to save you
[Verse 2]
She’s so in love with all the things I hate most about myself
I’m so in love with all the sounds she makes when she smiles
And well, it’s a little tough, to put conker shells on ice sheets
Without breaking through, and flooding the whole town
[Verse 3]
I hope you’re alright
I didn’t wanna wake up last night
’Cause I quite liked the dream I had of holdin' your hand
It’s funny how slowly time goes when my thoughts have been racin' all this time
[Verse 4]
It’s alright to feel a little bit of darkness now and then
I know I’ve said it once but I still tell myself again and again
"You’ll never be enough", but what is enough?
You’re selfless
Isn’t that enough?
[Verse 5]
Banana bread before I go to bed will put the bees to sleep
Otherwise they’ll buzz and sting my lungs all night inside of me
Just wait a little while, you don’t cry too much
You know that when you smile, the sun shines more gently
You’re fallin' further down but I’ve got you by a thread
I wrap the cord around my arms until my hands start to turn red
But it’s not enough, it won’t be enough to save you
[Verse 2]
She’s so in love with all the things I hate most about myself
I’m so in love with all the sounds she makes when she smiles
And well, it’s a little tough, to put conker shells on ice sheets
Without breaking through, and flooding the whole town
[Verse 3]
I hope you’re alright
I didn’t wanna wake up last night
’Cause I quite liked the dream I had of holdin' your hand
It’s funny how slowly time goes when my thoughts have been racin' all this time
[Verse 4]
It’s alright to feel a little bit of darkness now and then
I know I’ve said it once but I still tell myself again and again
"You’ll never be enough", but what is enough?

Otherwise they’ll buzz and sting my lungs all night inside of me
Just wait a little while, you don’t cry too much
You know that when you smile, the sun shines more gently
