Set It Straight

I don't like how I'm feeling Swaying in the branches And the ground feels like the ceiling And I'm steady going down like I knew I would I'm steady going down like I knew I would I'm sick of writing sad songs, don't hold it against me But God, I'm so empty, oh God, I'm so empty I don't know if I'll recover from it Don't ever tempt me, don't ever tempt me Give me one reason why I shouldn't run away from here If I set it all straight, I can look you in your eyes And finally make you proud Give me one reason why I shouldn't run away from here If I set it all straight, promise me you'll run away As far as you can go I don't like what I'm saying Write it all down, then record it and replay it It's the only thing that helps me feel at peace again The only thing that helps me feel at ease again But it doesn't last long, it's only a deterrent To keep me from hurtin', to keep me from hurtin' I don't know if I'll recover from it Nothing is working, nothing is working Give me one reason why I shouldn't run away from here If I set it all straight, I can look you in your eyes And finally make you proud Give me one reason why I shouldn't run away from here If I set it all straight, promise me you'll run away As far as you can go I've got things on my mind I wouldn't tell a soul If you can hear me now, just know you're not alone
