The Way I Keep Myself Together

By the time I get to you perhaps
I'll be in a better space to just pour it all and run
But I'm sure that I'll keep looking back
And turn what I can escape; Did you even love me once
I don't know how hard you hit my heart
But now I'm down and they're counting
If this is it for us then call the guard
Cause I can feel my body drowning

The way I keep myself together
Is by not keeping anything at all
And when I tell you that I'm better
Don't believe me when you see me fall

Tell me what is this; your love or hate
To hold on to all the time when I should just write it off
I won't let my feelings go away
Cause in my head we are so right
Though it's never quite enough

I don't know how hard you hit my heart
But now I'm down and they're counting
If this is it for us then call the guard
Cause I can feel my body drowning

The way I keep myself together
Is by not keeping anything at all
And when I tell you that I'm better
Don't believe me when you see me fall

I don't need your love to know
I'll still get it on my own
Don't need goodbye to go
Don't mean to give you false hope
I don't need your love to know
I'll still get it on my own
Don't mean to give you false hope
And I don't need goodbye to go

The way I keep myself together
Is by not keeping anything at all
When I tell you that I'm better

Don't believe me when you see me fall
Don't believe me when you see me fall
Don't believe me when you see me fall

By the time I get to you perhaps
I'll be in a better space to run
