"What It Can Be" lyrics

I don't wanna feel
Like I did last night in the cold of the pear tree
Say it isn't real
I can see your eyes have been hurting you lately

You slow down time when you hold me
But something's wrong and we don't know why
I go to speak and it chokes me
But we'll be over if I don't try

I put myself in chains
So I can take the blame

I don't know if we're gonna make it
But we don't know how to say it
I don't wanna make a mistake here
But I don't know how to save it
I can't run away
When it's still maybe
'Cause I can never tell you what it will be
I can only tell you what it can be

I swear we were the ones
Who would both stand strong while the others were losing
Now we've got a gun
And we're both waiting for the other to use it

I'm tryna hold on but I'm dying
If I go down will you hold my hand
I close my eyes but it's blinding
It can't be time I don't understand

I put myself in chains
So I can take the blame

I don't know if we're gonna make it
But we don't know how to say it
I don't wanna make a mistake here
But I don't know how to save it
I can't run away
When it's still maybe
'Cause I can never tell you what it will be
I can only tell you what it can be
