lyrics

Uninspired I’m
Uninspired I’m
Feeling tired
Feeling why did I
Leave you crying? Why’d
I treat you like it’s my
Right to keep you?
Right to need you
To lie to yourself for me
Will you lie to yourself for me?

Uninspired I’m
Uninspired I’m
Feeling wired
Feeling mired in my
Need to try cause I
Need you to like when I
Bleed and cry
But don’t feel obliged
Cause I lie to myself for you
Will you hide from yourself
For me?
And will you cry by yourself
For me?
But never leave me?
never leave me
never leave me
never leave me
