nashville. Lyrics

I'mma be completely honest

I'm not ready at all

I'm sick of hiding behind a metaphor

I broke up with her

Thinking I'd be happy in the end

But honestly I wrote my own demise

It doesn't help that I've been home

Alone with all my thoughts

The fact I'm leaving doesn't help at all

Cause I'm in love with someone

I should've chosen once before

And the fact that it'll never happen hurts

I wish I had the optimism

You all know me for

I think I've hit my breaking point this time

Take me back to Nashville

Where nobody knows my name

When life was simple

Everyone was free of all their pain

We're five again and play pretend

To act like we're okay

But no

The kids lost their minds

They've begged a thousand times

But they're too lost to make a single change

So I'm begging you to help 'em out again

And by "Them"

I really mean me

I've been trying to walk above

The sound of desperation

I rip my ears off muffling the pain

Isolation yanked me down

The tribute on the wall

Frightens me, I'll never be the same

Drained of all my optimism

Never be this sane

I'm falling through my breaking point this time

Take me back to Nashville

Where nobody knows my name

When life was simple

Everyone was free of all their pain

We're five again and play pretend

To act like we're okay

But no

The kids lost their minds

They've begged a thousand times

But they're too lost to make a single change

So I'm begging you to help 'em out again

And by "Them"

I really mean me

I think I'm better off alone

Challenges I've been beating

Heart made out of stone

But I can't make a single change at all

So I'm begging you to help 'em out again

Take me back in time so I can fix what never happened

I beat myself up looking towards the end

I think it's time for me to close the book

And call it quits

Cause damn, I'm really tired of this shit

Take me back to Nashville

Where nobody knows my name

When life was simple

Everyone was free of all their pain

We're five again and play pretend

To act like we're okay

But no

Take me back to Nashville

Where nobody knows my name

When life was simple

Everyone was free of all their pain

We're five again and play pretend

To act like we're okay

But no

The kids lost their minds

They've begged a thousand times

But they're too lost to make a single change

So I'm begging you to help 'em out again

Oh I'm begging, I'm begging

I'm begging I'm begging

I'm begging for my soul

Oh can you help me out again?
