Lyrics:
I’m borderline insane 
No devil on my shoulder
But I’ve got one in my brain
I got issues on issues 
I use the perfect words
And if I say them loud enough
Then maybe you won’t hear 
My issues one issues

Oooh, you know I really care about  
You-ooh, but I don’t, I don’t I don’t

I don’t wanna be the one who lets you down
Save yourself and leave me now 
Before you see the real me, and all my flaws
And my history of sabotage
I know it’s gonna end like that,
And I don’t wanna hold you back
I don’t

At the start of every day 
I’m met with a reminder that my demons never change 
I got issues on issues 
You tell me it’s okay  
But if you really knew me, you’d see why
I’m pushing you away

I don’t, I don’t, I don’t

I don’t wanna be the one who lets you down
Save yourself and leave me now 
Before you see the real me, and all my flaws
My history of sabotage
I know it’s gonna end like that,
And I don’t wanna hold you back

No, I don’t wanna be the one who walks away
Repeating all my same mistakes
Even if it’s years before we fall apart,
I’ll find a way to break your heart
There’s part of me that you don’t know
And I don’t wanna get too close
No I don't, oh

Oooh, you know I really care about
You-ooh, but I don’t, I don’t I don’t

I don’t wanna be the one who lets you down
Save yourself and leave me now 
Before you see the real me, and all my flaws
My history of sabotage
I know it’s gonna end like that
And I don’t wanna hold you back

I don’t wanna be the one who walks away
Repeating all my same mistakes
Even if it’s years before we fall apart
I’ll find a way to break your heart
There’s part of me that you don’t know
And I don’t wanna get too close

Yeah, there’s part of me that you don’t know
And I don’t wanna give you hope
I don't
