Before I Lose My Mind (Stripped) - Etham

I'm not myself these days, you know Far better places I can go And nothing's permanent, nothing is there to last How much do I keep from you when our time has passed? Trying to chase away the night Hoping you'd save me by daylight 'Cause in the end, I'm just a tired little boy Who's running desperate for a little bit of joy Now just hold me fast and kind Before I lose control, before I lose my mind Now just hold me fast and kind Before I lose control, before I lose my mind I'm not myself these days, you know Far better places I can go And nothing's permanent, nothing is there to last How much do I keep from you when our time has passed? Now just hold me fast and kind Before I lose control, before I lose my mind Now just hold me fast and kind Before I lose control, before I lose my mind Now just hold me fast and kind Before I lose control, before I lose my mind Now just hold me fast and kind Before I lose control, before I lose my mind

I feel like I barely know you But I've known you long enough And it's safe when it's just us Stop me if it's to soon I don't wanna scare you off When I start to open up Can I say something Knowing you can't un-hear it Can I say nothing for now Cause it hurts to say out loud (oh oh oh oh) Yeah it hurts to say out loud (oh oh oh oh) If I had to paint a picture Of the state my heads been in I would only use black ink I'm not looking for a shoulder Or tiny violin This ain't a cry for attention I don't need your comforting Can I say something Knowing you can't un-hear it Can I say nothing for now Cause it hurts to say out loud (oh oh oh oh) Cause it hurts to say out loud (oh oh oh oh) Cause it hurts to say I'm losing in a fight against my head Gloves are off with one round left And I won't make the bell When I can't go any longer Will you be there in my corner Cause we all need someone else We can't do it by ourselves Can I say something knowing you can't un-hear it Can I say nothing for now Can I say something knowing you can't un-hear it Can I say nothing for now Cause it hurts to say out loud (oh oh oh oh) Cause it hurts to say out loud (oh oh oh oh)
