My Heart Gets Left Behind - Mayfield

What am I running from?

Iʼm just wishing for an end to this

Someone shake my hollow frame

I canʼt keep my mouth above the waves

How can I reject what Iʼve been craving all along?

I guess I thought things would be different

Iʼm losing all my confidence

Living through this nightmare phase, contemplating everything

Will the choices that I made make me stand as a better man?

Will I cave and crush my heart, or drown myself alone in the dark?

Itʼs all I want and now Iʼm falling fast

I just want to make this last

Take a stop at the hospital, tell me everythingʼs fine

Thereʼs this constant reminder I wonʼt be alright

Can I dream of my funeral so I wake up alive this time?

Donʼt let my heart leave me behind

I canʼt keep my focus when I let the stress get to my head

Can you carry me away?

I feel much too close to death

And every time I try to close my eyes, Iʼm haunted

I canʼt sleep — exhausted

This feeling of weakness takes a hold and wonʼt let go

My lungs begin to fill with smoke

I cower at the thought of failing, and pray for my extinction

Take a stop at the hospital, tell me everythingʼs fine

Thereʼs this constant reminder I wonʼt be alright

Can I dream of my funeral so I wake up alive this time?

Donʼt let my heart leave me behind

This condition I leave myself in is destitution with no resolution

And I fight the feeling — I canʼt control it

Itʼs all or nothing, and I allow myself to wilt

I wonʼt deny it, I built my foundation around this pain

Itʼs whats made me who I am

All the faults and mistakes shape our hollow existence
