Hover

I don't know why I put myself here
Saying I'll leave in front of the mirror
Practicing my whole speech
About how you smother me
Saying I want to be free, when I know I won't
Say shit whenever you're near

Broken kids make broken people
You should've known better
But then again, who taught you
Whatever the fuck is better?
Maybe I can write a song
Send it to you as a letter
Maybe then you'll understand
Why I hate that Christmas sweater

Deep down, I don't blame you
It's just like you to hover
Deep down, I don't hate you
Just wish I was a better brother
Wish I met your expectations
In too deep of my own indignation
I can't help but think that you were right
But the suffocation made me choke
Each and every night I spent at home

Each and every night I spent at home
Each and every night I spent at home

I don't know how I got myself here
I thought I was a good kid
Now I don't recognize who's in the mirror
Or what it is that I did
Practicing my whole speech
Say you need to help me
Begging for you to cut me free from this
When I know
I won't say shit when you're near

Broken hearts make broken teens, and
You should've known better
Then again how would you know that
I was breaking by the pressure?
Maybe I can write this song
Send it to you as a letter
Maybe then you'll understand
Why I didn't know better

Deep down, I don't blame you
It's just like you to hover
And deep down, I don't hate you
I just wish I was a better brother
Wish I met your expectations
In too deep by my own idnignation
I can't help but think that you were right
But the suffocation made me choke
Every night I spent at home

Broken kids just break more people
I wish I'd known better
Then I could've calmed you down
Promised you that I'd get better
I don't wanna sing this song
Or send it as a letter
'Cause you'd never even get that
You were piling on the pressure

Your pride and smile make me feel numb
And I know it'll get rough
As soon as I do something dumb
I know that I'm not good enough

I fucking hate your expectations
Fucking hate your indignation
How dare I breathe without permission
How dare I speak with no condescension
How dare I fuck up and make mistakes?!
How dare I be not okay?!
How dare you make me fear your name
How dare you make me miss your face

Deep down, I don't blame you
Deep down, I don't blame you
Deep down, I don't hate you
Deep down, I don't blame you
(Deep down, I don't blame you)
Deep down, I don't hate you
(Deep down, I don't blame you)
I wish you were a better brother
I wish you were a better mother
