Swallow Me Whole

Just give me an inch and I'll go the mile
As hard as it's been, I still find time to smile when I
Remember that we exist
Someplace only one another have been

I'll put in the work, it's just the beginning
I'll stare down my darkness and tell it I'm quitting for good
Just wanna be good for you and myself 'cause

If I can't love myself
Then this whole thing goes to hell
I'd be there for you in a heartbeat
Just tell me you want me
Just say that you want me to try
'Cause these conversations with myself
Never help, they just bring me back down
I'd shelter your storm any weather
There's nothing I won't do to make myself better

And if you're someone who would call themselves my friend
Then this might be hard to hear
But at least you're listening to me

I wish that seatbelt went right through my chest
Then maybe you'd come alive through my death
Pain in my side might not swallow me whole
But you will, you will

There's so much to say
But I'll just keep quiet
The harder I try, it seems the more divided we stand
Maybe somewhere we did all that we can
If that's not enough
To save us from choking
I'll tear down these walls with my bare
Hands 'til they're broken
'Cause everything's broken if I don't have you give me nothing

'Cause if I can't love myself
Then this whole thing goes to hell
I'd be there for you in a heartbeat
Tell me you want me
Just say that you want me to try
'Cause these conversations with myself
Never help, they just bring me back down
I'd shelter your storm any weather
There's nothing I won't do to make myself better

And if you find it in your heart to love again
Then I hope you find me there
I'll be waiting (waiting)

I wish that seatbelt went right through my chest
Then maybe you'd come alive through my death
Pain in my side might not swallow me whole
But you will, you will
Swallow me whole, yeah, yeah, whoa, whoa

'Cause if I can't love myself
Then this whole thing goes to hell
I'd be there for you in a heartbeat
Tell me you want me
Just say that you want me to try
'Cause these conversations with myself
Never help, they just bring me back down
I'd shelter your storm any weather
There's nothing I won't do to make myself better

'Cause if I can't love myself
Then this whole thing goes to hell
I'd be there for you in a heartbeat
Tell me you want me
Just say that you want me to try
