Lyrics
I'm writing you this message just so I can say that I love you, mm
I had to let you know that everything about me was you, yeah
I think it's time for me to leave but I'll never leave you
I just looked at your pictures so the last thing I did was see you
I'm twenty-nine, my anxiety's eating me alive
I'm fighting with myself and my sobriety every night
And last time I couldn't barely open up my eyes, I apologize

I'm not gonna lie and tell you it's alright, it's alright
You're gonna cry and, baby, that's alright, it's alright
I wrote you this song to keep, when I'm gone if you ever feel alone
You're gonna cry and, baby, that's alright, it's alright

I hope you get to go to all the places that I showed you
When I was on the road and couldn't be home to hold you
Part of me doesn't want this cruel world to know you
So just try and keep in mind everything that I told you
I'm twenty-nine and society's eating me alive
I'm fighting what comes this notoriety every night
This is the last time I'll ever open up my eyes, I apologize

I'm not gonna lie and tell you it's alright, it's alright
You're gonna cry and, baby, that's alright, it's alright
I wrote you this song to keep, when I'm gone if you ever feel alone
You're gonna cry and, baby, that's alright, it's alright

And I'll miss you
I'll miss you
I'll miss you
I'll miss you, yeah
And I'll miss you
I'll miss you
I'll miss you
I'll miss you
And I'll miss you (I'll miss you)
I'll miss you (I'll miss you)
I'll miss you (I'll miss you)
I'll miss you, yeah
And I'll miss you (and I'll miss you)
I'll miss you (I'll miss you)
I'll miss you (I'll miss you)
I'll miss you
And I'll miss you
I'll miss you
I'll miss you
I'll miss you, yeah
And I'll miss you
I'll miss you
I'll miss you
I'll miss you
