You Broke My Heart So Gently - Sam Tompkins

Boo, I need you around the pressure's gettin' way too heavy now
And you should know that I'm not ready, no
Not good at bein' alone, I know you know that I am empty now
Gettin' to sleep so very rarely now

We're on different paths, I've known it for sometime
Girl, this sh_t's so sad and it's like every night
This home just ain't a home, I know you broke my heart so gently
How does missing you just feel unhealthy now?

I could be chillin' with a girl that inspires inner brilliance
Now she's off on her own in the distance
I can't hit her on the phone for assistance, though I've been wishin'
This could be different, I ain't got time to be ignorant
But I can't cut you off like Vincent
So I try my best to keep distance, fight off the system

That makes me the victim, uh, it's like a fall of a kingdom
Held it up buy it's now just a prison
I can't leave my house without missin' all of our visions
This is a sickness, or am I just a witness?
Or could I put an end to this business?
Tie my shoes and walk out of this stillness, ain't got the fitness, no

I don't need a lot, I just want the best now
This been at my neck now, I've been feelin' low
Hate the way it's gone, my life's such a mess now
Can't deal with the stress now I've been feelin'

Boo, I need you around the pressure's gettin' way too heavy now
And you should know that I'm not ready, no
Not good at bein' alone, I know you know that I am empty now
Gettin' to sleep so very rarely now

We're on different paths, I've known it for sometime
Girl, this sh_t's so sad and it's like every night
This home just ain't a home, I know you broke my heart so gently
How does missing you just feel unhealthy now?

Bottlin' up all of my own soul, gettin' over it, I don't know
I'ma be straight, sh_t ain't been great
Feels like I'm dyin' but it's so slow
Wakin' me up with that mornin' boo
Thinkin' 'bout that and I feel so blue
Maybe I'll wait and it'll be fate, or am I just sittin' in my own tomb?

This ain't my life and it's not right, I'm thinkin' 'bout you all of my nights
I wanna catch flights but I don't like the fear to fall or what that ignites
You were my type, not one of my stripes
I think of you and I get good vibes
At least before you went out of my sight, yeah

I don't need a lot, I just want the best now
This been at my neck now, I've been feelin' low
Hate the way it's gone, my life's such a mess now
Can't deal with the stress now I've been feelin' low

I don't need a lot, I just want the best now
This been at my neck now, I've been feelin' low
Hate the way it's gone, my life's such a mess now
Can't deal with the stress now I've been feelin'

Boo, I need you around the pressure's gettin' way too heavy now
And you should know that I'm not ready, no
Not good at bein' alone, I know you know that I am empty now
Gettin' to sleep so very rarely now

We're on different paths, I've known it for sometime
Girl, this sh_t's so sad and it's like every night
This home just ain't a home, I know you broke my heart so gently
How does missing you just feel unhealthy now?
