[Verse 1]
I can't lose myself in this embrace
I'm wide awake
Because the higher you climb
The further you fall
The harder you love
The faster it all comes crashing down
And I felt for all the things I hate about myself
So they will, so they will leave me as well

[Chorus]
Why do I do this to myself in the first place?
Chasing smoke with something sweet just to hide the taste
Because indifference is nothing new
The only difference is what you do
I gotta take it back
I've gotta take it all back

[Verse 2]
So I took my chances, no matter what the cost
I'm better now, I've loved and lost
We all look for answers, well, you found me
And I'm sorry
I hate to be shamelessly
Free of disguise
[Chorus]
Why do I do this to myself in the first place?
Chasing smoke with something sweet just to hide the taste
Because indifference is nothing new
The only difference is what you do
I gotta take it back

[Breakdown]
Just give me something to follow
I know is true
Give me something to hold
That I don't see right through
Give me something new
So I can fall in love with you
Give me something new
