Cold Cup Echo

Lyrics

Verse 1
I stare at the floor like it owe me cash
Room full of smoke, still feel too damn cold
She said, “You good?” I said, “No, I’m trash”
Smilin’ through pain, that’s the role I sold
Empty blue cup, I chase that burn
Cheap little lie in a plastic glow
Every “I’m fine” got a sharp-ass turn
Every damn night move too damn slow

Pre-Chorus
I been down bad, baby, way too long
Hands in my pockets, heart in a hold
Tried to be strong, but the shit ain’t gone
It just keeps pressin’ on my soul
You hear me?

Chorus
I’m lonely as hell
(yeah, lonely as hell)
I’m hurt like hell
(yeah, hurt like hell)
I drink to forget
I hate myself
I need your voice
I need some help

Verse 2
Mama called twice, I let it ring
Couldn’t tell her why I ain’t pick up
Bills on the counter, shame in a string
And my last good friend was a plastic cup
I been sinkin’ slow in a dead-end cloud
Laugh in the day, then I fall at night
She left my name in a broken vow
Now I talk to ghosts in the dim blue light

Pre-Chorus
I been down bad, baby, way too long
Tryna outrun what I can’t control
Tell me where the fuck did my spark go wrong
When I still got breath in my bones
Say it with me

Chorus
I’m lonely as hell
(yeah, lonely as hell)
I’m hurt like hell
(yeah, hurt like hell)
I drink to forget
I hate myself
I need your voice
I need some help

Bridge
F
You don’t gotta fake it for me
I can hear the crack in your smile

M
I’m tired of the knife in my chest
Tired of wearin’ pain like style

F
Take my hand if the night gets mean

M
If I break, don’t let me disappear

Both
We been bruised, but we still got lungs
We can make it through this fear

Chorus
I’m lonely as hell
(yeah, lonely as hell)
I’m hurt like hell
(yeah, hurt like hell)
I drink to forget
I hate myself
I need your voice
I need some help

Outro
If you feel this, sing it back
If you’re stuck, then lean on mine
One more breath, one more crack
We ain’t dead, we just hurtin’ hard tonight
