My Nerves

[Chorus]
Promise me I’ll not get back on my nerves
You’re not the one at fault here
Promise me I’ll not get back on my nerves
Promise me I’ll not get back

[Verse 1]
Before you return to sober mind
You would escape all my questions
Before you’re forced to lie
If only I ever knew what’s best

[Chorus]
Promise me I’ll not get back on my nerves
You’re not the one at fault here
Promise me I’ll not get back on my nerves
God, let me just accept a flaw

[Verse 2]
I’m afraid to sleep by myself at night
Please stay close to me, my lover
You are the one I can’t leave behind

[Bridge]
If only I could put my doubts to rest
For keeps
‘Til I’m grown
‘Til the creaks in my bones cease

Christ I’m crazy
Surely a coward
Like an overprotective power
But when those drugs
Steal you away
I get jealous
I feel so ashamed

[Chorus]
Promise me I’ll not get back on my nerves
You’re not the one at fault here
Promise me I’ll not get back on my nerves
When I see nothing but the facts
