Try to remember, the echoes and embers
Are heavy on my mind
The pictures are broken, the front door is open
The scars are left behind
Tables turn you once they burning
Leaving me undone
A vision shaking till I break I
Swear to God more words, could you just hear me
Just really hear me

I've been drowning in the sea
Of tryna please you
It's all I'll ever be, it's all I ever knew
I try to be me, but I'm turning into you

Music is hurting, the drugs aren't working
Walls come crushing down
Another rejection, my insurrection
It's crawling back somehow
Tables turn these words they burn I
Never should have come
A vision shaking till I break I
Swear to God more words, could you just hear me
No, really hear me

I've been drowning in the sea
Of tryna please you
It's all I'll ever be, it's all I ever knew
I try to be me, but I'm turning into you
Turning into you

I'm not how I used to be,
I'm changing 'cause of you
I'm screaming just to breathe
It's all I can do
I try to be me, but I'm turning into you
Turning into you

Anymore, find a way, hey, hey
Anymore, find a way to bear
It's all that I can see, it's all that I can do
I try to be me, but I'm turning into you

I've been drowning in a sea
Of tryna please you
It's all I'll ever be, it's all I ever knew
I try to be me, but I'm turning into you
Turning into you

I'm not how I used to be,
I'm changing 'cause of you
I'm screaming just to breathe
It's all I can do
I try to be me, but I'm turning into you
Turning into you
