[Verse 1]

When we collide, the worst and darkest parts of me
Come back to life, they weigh me down
Now I’m tethered (Tethered)

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll take your fall and lose it all, you write the narrative
‘Cause you won’t see reality for what it really is
Suffocate and compensate ’til I’m empty in the end
And you still take when I got nothin’ lеft

[Verse 1]
Faith alone can’t get me where I need to go
‘Cause I should know that you don’t wanna get better
When we collide, the worst and darkest parts of me
Come back to life, they weigh me down
Now I’m tethered (Tethered)[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll take your fall and lose it all, you write the narrative
‘Cause you won’t see reality for what it really is
Suffocate and compensate ’til I’m empty in the end
And you still take when I got nothin’ lеft

[Chorus]
But all I ever wanted was for you
To havе some faith in me (Have some faith in me)
Now all that I could ask for is for you
To fuckin’ let me be (To fuckin’ let me be)

[Verse 2]
Faith alone holds all the strings that dangle me
Now I don’t know what dances in my mirror
As time moves on, I say you’re gone but it feels the same
It’s ink that shows your toxicity in my veins (Veins)

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll take the fall and lose it all, for what? I’ll never know
And you can’t find the nerve to wish me well (Wish me well)
The memories and promises, were they all just for show?
Your photographs, they show somebody else

[Chorus]
But all I ever wanted was for you
To have some faith in me (Have some faith in me)
Now all that I could ask for is for you
To fuckin’ let me be (To fuckin’ let me be)

[Refrain]
How much further underwater can I sink? I’ll never know
Now I can barely hold on, what I need is strength to let go
All I ever wanted was for you to have some faith in me
Tell me, why you can’t just let this be

[Bridge]
Take all you want, ’cause I’m devoid of anything
You don’t contain no empathy
I’m starved for anything that makes me feel alive
Drain me of every memory

[Chorus]
All I wanted was some faith in me
Now all that I could ask for is for you
To fuckin’ let me be (To fuckin’ let me be)

[Refrain]
How much further underwater can I sink? I’ll never know
Now I can barely hold on, what I need is strength to let go
All I ever wanted was for you to have some faith in me
Tell me why you can’t just let this be
