Nate Strider - Dead Roses

If I say I'm fine
Just know that makes me a liar
I just wanna die
Let me get a little higher
Running outta time
Til I lose what I've desired
Flicking on a light
Wish it shined a little brighter
Making songs
Losing friends
Got no regrets
And I'll do it again
When I sit in my bed with a pad and a pen
Writing the things that I think in my head
That I don't have the courage to say out loud
Look at my mom
Know that I'm not
Making you proud
You said follow your dreams
Well I'm doing it now
I wonder what you think
When you're hearing this sound
I had some friends
They were faker than fake
Take what I love
Into the ground
Treating my heart like a game
I ain't playing around
Ya'll made me so insecure
But I'm lovin it now
If I say I'm fine
Just know that makes me a liar
I just wanna die
Let me get a little higher
Running outta time
Til I lose what I've desired
Flicking on a light
Wish it shined a little brighter
Climbing a ladder
But suck at the bottom
Not done with this chapter
But finished the novel
I know I should man up
And deal with my problems
I rose and I grew
But I never did blossom
My circle of trust
It's growing smaller
Just cause you got my number
Don't that mean i want you to call it
I cannot wait for the day
When I have my own concert
When I am up on that stage
Asking my fans
If they need some bottled water
I cannot wait for the day
When I make a profit
I got a twin
His name is Thomas
He need to pay for his college
I cannot wait for the day
When I say that I got it
All these emotions
Are pouring out of me like a faucet
Heads in the sky
Hearts in the closet
They said they'd change
But i never bought it
Think I got nine hundred dollars
Inside of my wallet
But still can't afford to waste my time
With someone who isn't as honest
If I say I'm fine
Just know that makes me a liar
I just wanna die
Let me get a little higher
Running outta time
Til I lose what I've desired
Flicking on a light
Wish it shined a little brighter
We blossomed together
The flower has weathered
It's getting too withered
It's something we need to consider
All your words
They go through a filter
Scream and shout
All I hear is a whisper
If I say I'm fine
Just know that makes me a liar
I just wanna die
Let me get a little higher
Running outta time
Til I lose what I've desired
Flicking on a light
Wish it shined a little brighter
