Getting By - Selfish > Helpless Lyrics

I've held my tongue
For too long now
I've gotta say it while I mean it
Before you're too numb
To take it in
Take me in
My head is spinning

You walk around
Masquerading, self medicating
Who are you now
You're tiptoeing on the line
Where I don't wanna know you anymore

Please
Don't forget
The life that you haven't lived yet
This is not all that's left
You're fading into your silhouette
If you're not ready to change
Then please don't expect me to stay

You've held your breath
Why Stop Now
Just light another cigarette and blame your problems on it
Take a deep breath in
And let it go
Let me go

I'd rather be selfish than helpless
And we're all just getting by and through this

Please
Don't forget
The life that you haven't lived yet
This is not all that's left
You're fading into your silhouette
If you're not ready to change
Then please don't expect me to stay

No more second chances
It's time for me to walk away

No more second chances
It's time for me to walk away
So watch me walk away

Please
Don't forget
The life that you haven't lived yet
This is not all that's left
You're fading into your silhouette
If you're not ready to change
Then please don't expect me to stay
