Even If It Kills Me
(This one's gonna make my mom sad)
A pile of clean clothes on the bed
Don't have the energy to put them back yet
I've been lying face down on a decade-old mattress
Wrinkled sheets underneath my head
Giving every ounce of focus to the feet beneath my legs
Take a step, then another, keep it up
I can't finish what I start, seems I just don't have the heart
Wish the minimum could finally be enough
I'll keep smiling though my eyes are wet
Through my crying I can still see
I will meet the expectations you set
Even if it kills me
Closed up my windows again
There's too much smoke outside, I shouldn't breathe it in
With the sky so yellow-gray, and the way I feel today
I might welcome the carcinogens
Giving every ounce of patience to the things I can't control
Take a breath, then another, keep it up
Be the change I want to see seems a little cheap to me
But I'm lazier now than I ever was
I'll keep smiling though my eyes are wet
Through my crying, I can still see
I will meet the expectations you set
Even if it kills me
Even if it kills me
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Take a step, then another, keep it up
I'll keep smiling though my eyes are wet
Through my crying, I can still see
I will meet the expectations you set
Even if it kills me
Even if it kills me
A pile of clean clothes on the bed
Don't have the energy to put them back yet
I've been lying face down on a decade-old mattress
Wrinkled sheets underneath my head
Giving every ounce of focus to the feet beneath my legs
Take a step, then another, keep it up
I can't finish what I start, seems I just don't have the heart
Wish the minimum could finally be enough
I'll keep smiling though my eyes are wet
Through my crying I can still see
I will meet the expectations you set
Even if it kills me
Closed up my windows again
There's too much smoke outside, I shouldn't breathe it in
With the sky so yellow-gray, and the way I feel today
I might welcome the carcinogens
Giving every ounce of patience to the things I can't control
Take a breath, then another, keep it up
Be the change I want to see seems a little cheap to me
But I'm lazier now than I ever was
I'll keep smiling though my eyes are wet
Through my crying, I can still see
I will meet the expectations you set
Even if it kills me
Even if it kills me
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Take a step, then another, keep it up
I'll keep smiling though my eyes are wet
Through my crying, I can still see
I will meet the expectations you set
Even if it kills me
Even if it kills me
