Say What You Want - Columbus, Alex Costello, Jordan Black

I’m getting better at letting go

Sometimes I grip too hard

But we’ve held hands for too long and I’m feeling torn

Stuck in traffic at a crossroad

Under streetlights when we walk home

Sitting by the windowsill

The breeze pulls on your hair

I daydreamed of days spent with you

But know you never care

Tearing off this band-aid that I wear every day

Say what you want me to be, 'cause I’m just fine

The only time I tore my skin was when I let you in

Say what you want me to be, I’ll be alright

I’ll be alright

You were the deep-end in a shallow pool

Not much for a personality

Just pretending that you love me

It only stings for a little bit when I’m pulling you off my skin

And the off-white tone of the window sill that I know you sit by still

Waiting for me all alone

But I’m never coming home

Tearing off this band-aid that I wear every day

Say what you want me to be, 'cause I’m just fine

The only time I tore my skin was when I let you in

Say what you want me to be, I’ll be alright

It’s easy to see with hindsight

I should have known better

I should have known

Everything heals with time

And I’ve wasted long enough with you

There’s nothing I can do

I’m better off with this scar tissue

Tearing off this band-aid that I wear every day

Say what you want me to be, 'cause I’m just fine

The only time I tore my skin was when I let you in

Say what you want me to be, I’ll be alright

I’ll be alright

Say what you want me to be, I’ll be alright

I’ll be alright

Say what you want me to be, I’ll be alright
