Clear the Air

I wanted to tell you, I wanted to share
Some important details that you're unaware of
I want you to listen, I want you to care
I'll choke to death if I don't clear the air

It's not a secret that I obsess
And then I get angry, and then I get stressed
And you can't imagine and you can't compare
You've no frame of reference and then you get scared

I'm doing my best to help make you see
That it's not your fault when I beg and I plead
It's much easier just to go back to sleep
But we've gotta find a place to start because I'm falling apart

I never feel happy, I never feel safe
I can't let myself ever stay in one place
I look in the mirror and I see the face
Of a failure who will never be significant

The face that you see from the morning to night
Is the mask that I put on to hide what's inside
I don't take it off until you fall asleep
I don't want you to see what lives inside of me

I thought I'd get older and it'd go away
But it only gets worse and 'causes more pain
And being alone is getting so hard
I just gotta tell you

Goddammit, I'm falling apart
I'm down on my knees in the dark
Feeling for whatever's left
But the pieces have fallen too far

Goddammit, I'm falling apart
I'm down on my knees in the dark
Feeling for whatever's left
But the pieces have fallen too far

Don't leave yet
I haven't gotten to the part that explains it all
Don't leave yet
I need somebody there to catch me before I fall

To catch me before I fall
Goddammit, I'm falling apart

I wanted to tell you, I wanted to share
Some important details that you're unaware of
I want you to listen, I want you to care
I'll choke to death if I don't clear the air right now
