lyrics

stewing in the little things and i'm boiling over
sedentary resentment won't make me feel better
can't interrogate my way to forgiveness, can i?
scars from well before your time are not your burden, they're mine

gave you the wheel but i'm backseat driving
pushing and pulling and wearing you too thin
every other minute i tell you i'm sorry
i want to be well, i want to be want to be

can't see what's in front of me when i keep projecting
fears and insecurities, i can't keep expecting
only you to hold my hand and clean up after me
wrestling with my traumas is my responsibility

gave you the wheel but i'm backseat driving
pushing and pulling and wearing you too thin
every other minute i tell you i'm sorry
but never learned how to come up with an apology
every other minute i tell you i'm sorry
but never learned how to come up with an apology
every other minute i tell you i'm sorry
but never learned how to come up with an apology
