3 AM and I’m wide awake Heavy head, but I can’t break Tuning in to the same mistakes, mistakes Filling up with self-disdain Scratching at the same old pain Letting every wound remain, remain I’m walking the line Between the fallout and the shine Every stumble feels designed To keep me low, keep me low The more I try to take control The deeper I dig into the hole It’s like I’ve sold my soul For the show Oh, I’m worse for wear, worse for wear You love me when my scars are laid bare It’s like I’m Better broken, better torn You only listen when my heart’s forlorn As I fall apart And the tempo tears me down Oh, I’m worse for wear, worse for wear You only like me when I drown Worse for wear, worse for wear You only love me in despair Chasing ghosts in every frame Burning out in search of fame But the spotlight’s just a flame And I’m ash, I’m ash Every word’s another crack Every melody pulls me back To the place where I collapse And I’m trapped I’m a cycle you replay On loop like it’s my fate You don’t want me whole, you want me this way Oh, I’m worse for wear, worse for wear You love me when my scars are laid bare It’s like I’m Better broken, better torn You only listen when my heart’s forlorn As I fall apart And the tempo tears me down Oh, I’m worse for wear, worse for wear You only like me when I drown What’s the price to be adored? To bare my wounds and bleed some more Am I the tragedy you’ve come for? The tragedy you need? Behind these lines, there’s someone real But the pain’s become my only shield I wonder if I’ll ever heal Or just repeat Oh, I’m worse for wear, worse for wear You love me when my scars are laid bare It’s like I’m Better broken, better torn You only listen when my heart’s forlorn As I fall apart And the tempo tears me down Oh, I’m worse for wear, worse for wear You only like me when I drown

Heavy head, but I can’t break
Tuning in to the same mistakes, mistakes
Filling up with self-disdain
Scratching at the same old pain
Letting every wound remain, remain
I’m walking the line
Between the fallout and the shine
Every stumble feels designed
To keep me low, keep me low
The more I try to take control
The deeper I dig into the hole
It’s like I’ve sold my soul
For the show
Oh, I’m worse for wear, worse for wear
You love me when my scars are laid bare
It’s like I’m
Better broken, better torn
You only listen when my heart’s forlorn
As I fall apart
And the tempo tears me down
Oh, I’m worse for wear, worse for wear
You only like me when I drown
Worse for wear, worse for wear
You only love me in despair
Chasing ghosts in every frame
Burning out in search of fame
But the spotlight’s just a flame
And I’m ash, I’m ash
Every word’s another crack
Every melody pulls me back
To the place where I collapse
And I’m trapped
I’m a cycle you replay
On loop like it’s my fate
You don’t want me whole, you want me this way
Oh, I’m worse for wear, worse for wear
You love me when my scars are laid bare
It’s like I’m
Better broken, better torn
You only listen when my heart’s forlorn
As I fall apart
And the tempo tears me down
Oh, I’m worse for wear, worse for wear
You only like me when I drown
What’s the price to be adored?
To bare my wounds and bleed some more
Am I the tragedy you’ve come for?
The tragedy you need?
Behind these lines, there’s someone real
But the pain’s become my only shield
I wonder if I’ll ever heal
Or just repeat
Oh, I’m worse for wear, worse for wear
You love me when my scars are laid bare
It’s like I’m
Better broken, better torn
You only listen when my heart’s forlorn
As I fall apart
And the tempo tears me down
Oh, I’m worse for wear, worse for wear
You only like me when I drown
