It Follows - Nervus

Face it

You got to comfortable

You thought it couldn’t go wrong

Embrace it

You’re not infallible

You needed help all along

I hit the floor so hard

The air left both my lungs

I might be on my back

At least I’m looking up

And as the air rushed in

The sky went white with pain

If I lay here now

I can’t fall back again, you said

I bit my tongue so hard it bled for days and days

I tried to leave with no place to go

It followed me and it keeps me close

Face it

You got to comfortable

You thought it couldn’t go wrong

Embrace it

You’re not infallible

You needed help…

To find a place to live

To love and call your home

Try to make ends meet

To not hate being alone

Learn to love yourself

And find the strength to grow

Can’t turn back the clocks

Accept you’ll never know, I said

I bit my tongue so hard it bled for days and days

I tried to leave with no place to go

It followed me and it keeps me close

I couldn’t shake it off

I was losing myself

Now it just stays beside me

My own personal hell

It followed me and it keeps me close

Face it

You got to comfortable

You thought it couldn’t go wrong

Embrace it

You’re not infallible

You needed help all along
