Teleprompter Lyrics

While we're close

Tell me all about the things that you love the most

I just want to kiss you

But I'm afraid to miss you, so I don't

I kind of want to go away

If I could crawl out of my skin I'd stay

But I always seem to toe the line

Living for your peace of mind

I can't escape forever

I can't afford the drugs that keep me together

A lifetime of pain with few moments of pleasure

Makes my heart go cold while my eyes get wetter

I know

I'm only here because you said so

I know

I'm only here because you said so

So it goes

I'm never going to love again, I'll let it decompose

I'll be broken-hearted 'til I'm dearly departed

What a joke

I kind of want to waste the day

Forget all of the things I wish I'd say

If I hadn't made my mind up on goodbye

I'm scared to live, not scared to die

I can't escape forever

I can't afford the drugs that keep me together

A lifetime of pain with few moments of pleasure

Makes my heart go cold while my eyes get wetter

C'mon I know

I'm only here because you said so

I know

I'm only here because you said so

Read the letters on the screen

Pretend you know what they mean

Don't hold on but don't let go

At my wit's end, no room to grow

Oh, I'm only here because you said so
