Stand By Me



it wasn't long ago
but i had to think and remember tho
Now I know how it was before
how it stung - how the whole world spun
how motion sick I got from it
and it's never done
but I'll never run
it's not enough without the trust
like trying to breathe without no lungs
and now it's coming back to me
panic attack after attack
stars go away and the sun goes black
all alone I want you back
I lived my life and never thought twice
and acted like it's all alright
inside of this gigantic lie
but stand by me and i'll be fine-
