Guess the bottom of the bottle's gotta wait
'cause I've got work at 6am, it's getting late
And I don't really know why I despise my home
Guess it's just that cursed mirror that I hate
Maybe I don't wanna know the reason why
I trade my time with you for bloodshot eyes
Just hope you never realize you ain't the one that gets me high
Oh, but apologies are worthless when they're heard repeatedly
I know the path to forgiveness must start and end with me
I wanna tell you the truth, but I don't exactly know what that looks like
But if you'd let me, I would try
To find a new horizon to set my bearings to
And I'll push back against the tides of my design
The only thing I care about in this whole world is you
Against the rocks I'd crash, without your guiding light
Baby, please don't cut the line
And every day I play the game of how to not get caught
Simply going through the motions that you taught
And all the while, I'm actually hoping you can tell
That you hear, despite my rage, these cries for help
Oh, won't you please tell me that you still see
That the person I become just isn't me, at least it isn't who I wanna be
And even though I don't deserve the love that you give me
I swear I'll learn to fight pre-destiny, maybe then I'd finally find some peace
Instead, I'll find a bar and soak in regret and solitude
Leave all these thoughts as words unspoken, 'til they turn to something rude
I wanna tell you the truth if it decides to show its ugly face
But darlin' if you'd only stay
I would sail right through the storm, at a blinding 16 knots
Throw self-doubt into the winds and open sky
I know you've given me so many, but please give me one last shot
I swear to God, I'll prove myself to you this time
Baby, please don't cut the line
Baby, please don't cut the line
Don't cut the line
