The Yearning.

[Verse 1]
Forever waiting
For you to take me in
No, not you
A version of you
I want to see you so I can remember
I deserve nothing
And so my shriveling feels justifiable
[Verse 2]
When I do, I don't
Hate myself
As much as I did back then for not behaving well
For being jealous
Moody or illogical at times
But mostly, for not taking your shit
Even if it wasn't graceful
Even if it wasn't perfectly executed
Oh the pains of growth
Ohhhh!
[Bridge]
I feel bad for my obsessed little friend
And how much of herself she would've given
To be seen
Yes, I feel bad for my distressed little friend
And how much she needed
And didn't know how to get
Get!
[Chorus]
And we'all. We all
Despise the yearning
We'all. We all
Despise the yearning
But how else
Will we know
How to get
What we want?
Oh! And!
We'all. We all
Despise the yearning
We'all. We all
Despise the yearning
But how else
Will we know
What we want
What we want

[Verse 1]
Don't know how to see myself as valuable
Without doing something to 'earn' or 'prove' it
I don't see myself as valuable
As a piece of existence
[Verse 2]
In the image of God
Something intended
I move on instinct
Using convoluted equations
To avoid pain and blame
Can't sustain myself
On being seen as good enough
[Bridge]
I'm losing my mind (I'm losing my mind)
I'm losing my mind (Can't move, cannot hide)
I'm losing my mind (Everything I've tried)
I'm losing my mind (I'm losing my...)
Losing my mind
[Outro]
I am losing my mind (Cannot run, cannot hide)
I am losing my mind (I am losing my mind)
I am losing my mind (Cannot run, cannot hide)
I am losing my mind (I am losing my mind)

[Verse 1]
Ever since I was a little girl
I've been waiting for the end of the world
And now it seems like
My worst nightmares’
‘re coming true
Before my dreams
Have even
Left the ground
[Chorus 1]
Death is playing, games with me
Pulling the ones that I love
But I'm still alive
I'm still alive
[Verse 2]
I'm just waiting for a bit of air
I'm just waiting for a moment to not feel
Brokenhearted
I'm just waiting whilst with hate they breathe
[Chorus 2]
Games with me
Pulling the ones that I love
But I'm still alive
I'm still alive
[Verse 3]
Ever since I was little girl
I have felt the weight of the world on my shoulders
Stunted and so very unprepared for getting older
And I can't help but feel so left behind
All of the time
[Chorus 3]
Death is playing games with me (Poor rosy eyed girl)
Pulling the ones that I love (Doomsdayer)
But I'm still alive (When you’ve figured it out)
I'm still alive (You can judge mine)
I'm just waiting for a bit of air
Just a bit air
Just a bit air
