I Don't Know What I Think I'm Doing but I Hope It Ends Well

from I Can Sincerely Say I've Tried by Jake Gussman

lyrics

All you wanted I could never be
But I could cause you trouble quite faithfully

Still this break feels wrong ‘cause in your eyes I see
The warmest home from which I’d ever want to flee

I could show you if you’d only see
That I could leave this life I you’d just let me

Plunge me into darkness leave me be
Because the candle of your love can’t set me free
Forget me finally Forget me finally

Got my tangled rope all tied up with yours
And I brought my stress right up to your door

I don’t know if I have enough in store
Unless you expect less I’ll disappoint you more

I’m on trouble waters and my minds at war
And my sanity has surely washed ashore

I’m a danger to myself and all my friends
But I never thought this love would have to end


I’m always late, I’m always listless, Always in need of forgiveness
I’ll make you sad, I’ll make you miss this inclination to just exist
I’ll waste your time and all my friends; I’ll fight with myself to the end
The past and present brought me one wish
To just learn to let go of some things

Finally
Forget me Finally
Forget me Finally
Forget me let me be
Forget me Finally
Just forget me

Sometimes I dream I’d drive away Ride for miles nowhere to stay
Pull the wheel and end my life it makes my stomach sick at night
Chasing thoughts of razor blades getting crazier each day
If you’re the cliff: I’m at the bottom too nervous to solve my problems

I broke your heart but you broke mine first ‘cause you’ve seen me at my very worst
Just when we get settled in then it will all happen again
Pull away from all my friends but it’s harder that way in the end
It’s all just a selfish fantasy
Wish I could forget it
Finally
