[Verse 1]
Yeah, all the highs and lows
The loss of inhibitions
I'm under the throws of all my bad decisions

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody’s asking questions I don't know
Secretly, I'm desperate to stay in control
I will give you my confession, I’m alone, oh

[Chorus]
So take it or leave it, my voice is nearly broken
Drowning in slow motion
'Cause, oh, I'm down and hopeless, it's true
So take it or leave it, I'm numb, my body's frozen
And all my doors are closing
My light is dying slowly, it's true
So take it or leave it all

[Verse 2]
People come and go
It takes a lot to faze me, living on the road
Been through so many stagеs

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody's asking questions I don’t know
Secrеtly I’m desperate to stay in control
I will give you my confession, I'm alone, oh

[Chorus]
So take it or leave it, my voice is nearly broken
Drowning in slow motion
’Cause, oh, I'm down and hopeless, it's true
So take it or leave it, I'm numb, my body’s frozen
And all my doors are closing
My light is dying slowly, it's true
So take it or leave it all

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I'm right here
So take it or leave it all
'Cause I'm right here
So take it or leave it all

[Bridge]
Maybe you're my medicine
Like a sort of adrenaline
All my lies, all my sins
I wish I would've been a better friend
I'm just trying to find a way to win
Maybe I want too many things
And I hope it'll all make sense in the end

[Outro]
My voice is nearly broken (I hope), drowning in slow motion
'Cause, oh, I'm down and hopeless, it's true (I hope)
And I hope it'll all make sense in the end
Now my body's frozen (I hope)
And all my doors are closing (It'll all make sense in the end)
My light is dying slowly, it's true (I hope)
It'll all make sense in the end
