You can't find the phone, so you can call it off But it might be for the best You can't walk away, anyway 'Cause you've nowhere else to go Is he worth all this, is it a simple yes 'Cause if you have to think, it's fucked Feels like you've loved him more than he loved you And you wish you'd never met Don't keel over now Don't keel over Don't keel over now Don't keel over You've been up all night and the night before And you've lost count of drinks and time And your friends keep calling, worried sick And there's strangers everywhere Don't keel over now Don't keel over Don't keel over now Don't keel over And in one little moment, it all implodes This isn't everything you are Breathe deeply in the silence, no sudden moves This isn't everything you are Just take the hand that's offered, and hold on tight This isn't everything you are There's joy not far from here, I, I know there is This isn't everything you are When you took the call, how could you know That he'd slipped away last night When you wish you'd went home days ago To say goodbye, or just hello Don't keel over now Don't keel over Don't keel over now Don't keel over And in one little moment, it all implodes This isn't everything you are Breathe deeply in the silence, no sudden moves This isn't everything you are Just take the hand that's offered, and hold on tight This isn't everything you are There's joy not far from here, I, I know there is This isn't everything you are This isn't everything you are This isn't everything you are
