everything (i need you to know)

I've been keeping to myself these days
Cause I don't wanna worry about the things I say
Been stuck in my ways for a while now
And I'm tired of playing pretend
But there's some things I need to tell you so here I go
I've been facing monsters all on my own
I should be looking for help but this is all I know
And I wish I told you a long long time ago

But this is everything I need you to know
Everything I wanted to say when I choked
Everything that I couldn't take cause I broke
And I froze up when you needed me again
And these are the things that I do with my life
I hear your voice in my head sometimes
I keep my phone by the bed so the light will wake me up in my head
If you come calling again

So if my heart stop before I get where I'm going
And that day comes when you'll let me go
Then just hold on to these words I wrote
Oh oh oh oh
And last time you loved it left you broken
So you've been stuck but I'm still here hoping
There'll be a light at the end for you
And I wish I told you a long long time ago

But this is everything I need you to know
Everything I wanted to say when I choked
Everything that I couldn't take cause I broke
And I froze up when you needed me again
And these are the things that I do with my life
I hear your voice in my head sometimes
I keep my phone by the bed so the light will wake me up in my head
If you come calling again

Time can't go in both directions
God knows that's how I learn lessons
So this is how I'll express to you
In these pages is where I'll keep you
And you'll carry on to where it all leads you
Oh how much better it'll treat you
And this is where I'll leave you

This is everything I need you to know
Everything I wanted to say when I choked
Everything that I couldn't take cause I broke
And I froze up when you needed me again
And these are the things that I do with my life
I hear your voice in my head sometimes
I keep my phone by the bed so the light will wake me up in my head
If you come calling again
