A Couple Seconds ft. Becca Keogh Lyrics

Did ya see it in my eyes

As they grew twice the size

Damn, I don't mean to fret

But since the ghosts are bleeding

And the children are screaming

I feel like there's a rope around my neck

There's all this pressure

To feel so much better

And I can't hold the sky up myself

I need someone

Please be that one

Who can help me quickly forget

I'm not that far away

Not asking you to stay

But please just give me a rest

And I swore I'd never be the one

To ruin all your fun

But I've tried and I've done my best

Please just take this pain

For a couple seconds

I promise that I won't go far

You could save me

From learning the lesson

That learning right now's too hard

Don't give your life to me

I'm not asking you to bleed

But if you take this pain

For a couple seconds

You could save me from a couple scars

I feel for you, Atlas

It's too much to balance

When the sky is crushing down on you

And when you're not the one that's holding

The sky up, you're just hoping

That it'll never fall on you

And you convince yourself a bet

Is better than regret

But it's still hard to believe

That there will come a time

In everyone's life

Where they feel like they're set free

Please just take this pain

For a couple seconds

I promise that I won't go far

You could save me

From learning the lesson

That learning right now's too hard

Don't give your life to me

I'm not asking you to bleed

But if you take this pain

For a couple seconds

You could save me from a couple scars

I'm not that far away

Not asking you to stay

But please just give me a rest

And I swore I'd never be the one

To ruin all your fun

But I've tried and I've done my best

Please just take this pain

For a couple seconds

I promise that I won't go far

You could save me

From learning the lesson

That learning right now's too hard

Don't give your life to me

I'm not asking you to bleed for me

If you take this pain

For a couple seconds

You could save me from a couple scars
