The Way I Keep Myself Together - Kevin Garrett

By the time I get to you perhaps

I’ll be in a better space to just pour it all and run

But I’m sure that I’ll keep looking back

And turn what I can escape;

Did you even love me once

I don’t know how hard you hit my heart

But now I’m down and they’re counting

If this is it for us then call the guard

Cause I can feel my body drowning

The way I keep myself together

Is by not keeping anything at all

And when I tell you that I’m better

Don’t believe me when you see me fall

Tell me what is this;

your love or hate

To hold on to all the time when I should just write it off

I won’t let my feelings go away

Cause in my head we are so right

Though it’s never quite enough

I don’t know how hard you hit my heart

But now I’m down and they’re counting

If this is it for us then call the guard

Cause I can feel my body drowning

The way I keep myself together

Is by not keeping anything at all

And when I tell you that I’m better

Don’t believe me when you see me fall

I don’t need your love to know

I’ll still get it on my own

Don’t need goodbye to go

Don’t mean to give you false hope

I don’t need your love to know

I’ll still get it on my own

Don’t mean to give you false hope

And I don’t need goodbye to go

The way I keep myself together

Is by not keeping anything at all

When I tell you that I’m better

Don’t believe me when you see me fall

Don’t believe me when you see me fall

Don’t believe me when you see me fall

By the time I get to you perhaps

I’ll be in a better space to run
