​somehow lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was scattered and broken
But you saw the rest of me
You heard what I had to leave unspoken
You understood what I had to be

[Chorus]
Can I ever be whole again, or is this it?
Crying in your arms again and hating it
I'm carving at my soul to make it fit
Cut my skin away so I can live

[Verse 2]
I feel like something that should not be alive
A puncture wound in the goodness of your life
I know my gentleness is rotten inside
When you say that you love me
It makes me want to cry

[Chorus]
Can I ever be whole again, or is this it?
Crying in your arms again and hating it
I'm carving at my soul to make it fit
Cut my skin away so I can live

[Post-Chorus]
I'm holding on somehow
I'm still alive for now
I'm holding on somehow
I'm still alive for now
I'm holding on somehow
I'm still ali-li-live for now
I-I-I-I'm holding on somehow
I'm still alive for now
[Chorus]
Can I ever be whole again, or is this it?
Crying in your arms, I must be faking it
I'm carving at my soul to make it fit
Cut my skin away so I can live

[Verse 3]
It makes me terrified, it makes me sick
And when I'm in it, I cannot resist
I tried to die, but I could not commit
And it feels so much worse
To see you hurting from what I did
