On The Run - Drop Out Lyrics

Can't you see me crawling?
I'm falling away from the pack that I swore I would lead
It's getting hard to breathe when you're staring at me
Waiting for me to burst at the seams

Trapped inside my own head,
I'll hide under my bed with the books that I read as a kid

So I'm giving up and giving in,
I'm just ending it before it begins
My confidence was shot from the start
I'm so weak, man, I'm falling apart
I am crashing so hard from this high
Now, I can't look myself in the eye
I'm ashamed I've become such a mess
I just can't live like this

Trouble's found its way, and much to my dismay
It's been bunking with me this whole year
Tearing at my mind, ask me if I feel fine
Can you tell my reply's insincere?

Nothing's best left unsaid, would you rather be dead
Than alone with the thoughts in your head?

So I'm giving up and giving in,
I'm just ending it before it begins
My confidence was shot from the start
I'm so weak, man, I'm falling apart
I am crashing so hard from this high
Now, I can't look myself in the eye
I'm ashamed I've become such a mess
I just can't live like this

Tell my mom I'm doing fine
Tell my dad I'll be alright
Tell the kids it's worth a try
But happiness can cost you your life

So I'm giving up and giving in,
I'm just ending it before it begins
My confidence was shot from the start
I'm so weak, man, I'm falling apart
I am crashing so hard from this high
Now, I can't look myself in the eye
I'm ashamed I've become such a mess
And I just can't live like this
