I had a breakdown today
Somehow you always know what to say
All my doubts and anxiety
You break 'em down so easily
Found me on the floor shaking
You lift me up and it breaks me
I don't know how you handle
Somebody so unstable
Wish I could see myself through your eyes
I think I'd love myself just one time
'Cos babe, you paint me in the best light
(Paint me in the best light)
I know I don't deserve a pedestal
My tongue is quick and I'm a handful
And you have every right to let go
You don't have to hold me if you don't want to, love
You don't have to talk me down if it's all too much
I wish I were easier, easier to love
I wish we were easy, but baby we're not
I don't mean to shut you out
I lose control and get so loud
You don't deserve my ups and downs
(Downs, hey)
I can be so selfish
It's my fault that I'm helpless
You shouldn't love a mess like me
For this hell I'm so sorry
Wish I could see myself through your eyes
I think I'd love myself just one time
'Cos babe, you paint me in the best light
(You paint me in the best light)
I know I don't deserve a pedestal
My tongue is quick and I'm a handful
And you have every right to let go
You don't have to hold me if you don't want to, love
You don't have to talk me down if it's all too much
I wish I were easier, easier to love
I wish we were easy, but baby we're not
You don't have to hold me (Me, me)
If you don't want to, love (Want to love)
You don't have to talk me down (Talk me down)
If it's all too much (All too much, babe)
I wish I were easier
(Easier)
Easier to love
(Easier to love, baby)
I wish we were easy
(Easy)
But baby we're not
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Hmm-hmmm
Huh-huh-huuuuh
