lyrics

behind these empty eyes, there is a soul
just because i'm half alive doesn't mean i can't be whole
and they make me go dark, but i feel air inside my lungs
so i know i'm still existing though the words aren't on my tongue

i’m not an empty space
i'm not a mistake
this is more than i can take
i know you're begging me to break

but i'm not backing down
so you can shut me out
and if you want to, go ahead and leave
just don't wait up for me

underneath these scars, there is a heart
that beats in time with constant pulsing thoughts
of how you just erased me from your life
and when you laid me down, you laid me down inside your lies
i can't even hate you, i just hate that i was right

i’m not an empty space
i'm not a mistake
this is more than i can take
i know you're begging me to break

but i'm not backing down
so you can shut me out
and if you want to, go ahead and leave
just don't wait up for me

no i'm not backing down
and now i'll call you out
and you can say whatever helps you sleep
just don't wait up for me
