Less Of Me

Intro Instrumental

Verse 1

Morning leaks around the curtains

I can hear the pipes complain

Lie awake before the alarm rings

With that weight already in place

Leave the shower running longer

Let it cover up the sound

Of me trying to breathe normally

Before anyone comes around

Pre-Chorus

Every hour takes a little

Every night gives nothing back

I can feel myself growing distant

But I can't say when it began

Chorus

There's less of me

Every time I wake

More to carry

Less that I can take

I keep slipping

Somewhere out of reach

All this pressure

Leaves no room for me

Post-Chorus

Slowly, slowly

I come undone

Hold me together

I'm losing someone

Slowly, slowly

I disappear

I hear you calling

But I'm barely here

Verse 2

You were talking in the kitchen

I was watching your mouth move

Heard my name beneath the static

But the meaning didn't come through

Now the smallest interruption

Makes my pulse kick through the floor

And I hate how fast I turn on

Someone standing at my door

Pre-Chorus

Every hour takes a little

Every night gives nothing back

I can feel myself growing distant

But I can't say when it began

Chorus

There's less of me

Every time I wake

More to carry

Less that I can take

I keep slipping

Somewhere out of reach

All this pressure

Leaves no room for me

Post-Chorus

Slowly, slowly

I come undone

Hold me together

I'm losing someone

Slowly, slowly

I disappear

I hear you calling

But I'm barely here

Bridge

I used to know what silence sounded like

Before the ringing settled in

Now I leave the television on

So I don't have to hear myself think

I catch my face in the darkened screen

And wait for it to feel like mine

How long have I been sitting here?

How much of tonight did I lose?

Breakdown

One more thing

I can't hold

One more night

With no control

I don't need

Another reason

I need room

To keep on breathing

I can't switch it off

I can't slow it down

Everything gets louder

When there's no one else around

Build Up

Final Chorus

There's less of me

Every time I wake

More to carry

Less that I can take

I keep slipping

Somewhere out of reach

All this pressure

Leaves no room for me

Post-Chorus

Slowly, slowly

I come undone

Hold me together

I'm losing someone

Slowly, slowly

I disappear

I hear you calling

But I'm barely here

Outro

Leave the light on in the hallway

Let me hear you moving there

I don't need you to say anything

I just need to know you're there
