LYRICS
verse 1
I'm a critic to the core
don't cut myself slack
I love to tear me down
and never build me back up
oh I'll try my best to be honest
I'm not getting sleep tonight
cuz my mind's at war
burning eyes, wrecked inside
taking a step is a chore for me
when i feel that my feet have been tied by my own hands
with no help to stand
Chorus
summer comes quick keep on waiting
told myself i don't need saving
I don't know what I'll do if I never show up for me
verse 2
If i die before i wake
i pray the Lord my soul to take
but the truth is i lie awake
wondering if i'm strong enough to stay
anxiety plagues me
can anyone see
goes like the rain, tells me i'm insane
gotta find a fix quick to get over it
they like to say it's cuz i strayed from my faith
and it's a consequence
Chorus
summer comes quick keep on waiting
told myself i don't need saving
I don't know what I'll do if I never show up for me
Bridge
If the tides get too high
would you let me in
if i'm searching for redemption
would you let the hope crawl beneath my skin
and maybe this time i'll win
Chorus
summer comes quick keep on waiting
told myself i don't need saving
I don't know what I'll do if I never show up for me
I have gotta show up for me
I am stronger than i think
I have gotta show up for me
I have gotta show up
