Slipped

I´m in the city you hated
My eyes are fallen
Counting the clicks with the living dead
My eyes are red
I´m in the crush and I hate it
My eyes are fallen
I´m having trouble inside my skin
I try to keep my skeletons in
Is it weird to be back in the south?
And can they even tell
That the city girl was ever there -
Or anywhere?
I´m having trouble inside my skin
I try to keep my skeletons in
I´ll be a friend and a fuck-up
And everything
But I´ll never be
Anything you ever want me to be
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out
I don´t need any help to be breakable, believe me
I know nobody else who can laugh along to any kind of joke
I won´t need any help to be lonely when you leave me
It´ll be easy to cover
Gather my skeletons far inside
It´ll be summer in Dallas
Before I realize
I don´t want you to grieve
But I want you to sympathize (alright)
I can´t blame you for losing
Your mind for a little while (so did I)
I don´t want you to change
But I want you to recognize (that I)
It´ll be easy to cover
Gather your skeletons far inside
It´ll be summer in Dallas
Before you realize
That I´ll never be
Anything you ever want me to be
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out
My eyes are fallen
Counting the clicks with the living dead
My eyes are red
I´m in the crush and I hate it
My eyes are fallen
I´m having trouble inside my skin
I try to keep my skeletons in
Is it weird to be back in the south?
And can they even tell
That the city girl was ever there -
Or anywhere?
I´m having trouble inside my skin
I try to keep my skeletons in
I´ll be a friend and a fuck-up
And everything
But I´ll never be
Anything you ever want me to be
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out
I don´t need any help to be breakable, believe me
I know nobody else who can laugh along to any kind of joke
I won´t need any help to be lonely when you leave me
It´ll be easy to cover
Gather my skeletons far inside
It´ll be summer in Dallas
Before I realize
I don´t want you to grieve
But I want you to sympathize (alright)
I can´t blame you for losing
Your mind for a little while (so did I)

It´ll be easy to cover
Gather your skeletons far inside
It´ll be summer in Dallas

Anything you ever want me to be
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out
