Intro
(yeah)
I was fading out before you pulled me in
Verse 1
Xans in my system, Addys keep me awake,
Percs in the nightstand just to quiet my brain
I was numb every day, tryna run from the pain,
Didn’t care if I stayed, didn’t care if I changed
Every mirror felt fake, every promise I broke,
I was choking on smoke from the pills and the ghosts
I was losing myself just to feel something close,
Then you showed up and everything froze
Pre-Chorus
You saw me shaking, didn’t turn away,
Said, “You don’t gotta drown to feel okay”
For the first time I wanted to try,
For the first time I didn’t wanna die
Chorus
I quit the pills when I met you
Dropped all the ways I used to escape through
Xanax, Addy, Percs in the past now
I’d rather feel hurt if it means you’re around
I was empty, I was outta control,
Now I’m sober just to keep us close
I don’t need a high, I don’t need to run,
You’re the reason I’m not done
Verse 2
Late nights still test me, cravings still call,
But I think of your voice and I don’t fall
I ain’t healed, I ain’t perfect, I’m trying my best,
Learning how to feel instead of feeling less
I was killing my future one pill at a time,
Now I’m choosing tomorrow just to see your smile
If love’s a lifeline, I’m holding tight,
One more day, one more night
Outro
I don’t want numb, I don’t want gone,
I want you when the lights are on
I quit the pills when I met you…
And I’m still here.
