[Verse 1]
I've said a thousand things before
I've fallen in and out of love
I couldn't walk but tried to run
At night, the weight of expectation seems to keep me up
A thousand times, I said too much
Always second-guess before I jump
I gave my all, but not enough
And with the weight of expectation, I'll be sleeping rough

[Pre-Chorus]
How come I'm the only one who ever seems to get in my way?
Lately, I've been fucking up a good thing any chance I can get

[Chorus]
Somebody to lean on, somebody to hold
It's just another to lead, though, before I let go
And I ain't trying to bе lonely, solely
But evеrything I touch turns to stone
Maybe I'm better off on my own

[Verse 2]
A thousand times, I've heard the same
I've heard some other voices in my head
Let me assure you that my mind's in check
I just can't put my faith in something we might live to regret

[Pre-Chorus]
How come I'm the only one who ever seems to get in my way?
Lately, I've been fucking up a good thing any chance I can get

[Chorus]
Somebody to lean on, somebody to hold
It's just another to lead, though, before I let go
And I ain't trying to be lonely, solely
But everything I touch turns to stone
Maybe I'm better off on my own

[Bridge]
Everything that I touch turns to stone
Maybe I'm better off on my own
Everything that I touch turns to stone
Maybe I'm better off on my own

[Pre-Chorus]
How come I'm the only one who ever seems to get in my way?
Lately, I've been fucking up a good thing any chance I can get

[Chorus]
Somebody to lean on, somebody to hold
It's just another to lead, though, before I let go
And I ain't trying to be lonely, solely
But everything I touch turns to stone
Maybe I'm better off on my own
