Apologies in Advance

Open up and drop my guard to let you save me from myself (Save me from myself) I'm afraid that if I let you in, I'll lose my mental health (Health) What's the point of getting everything you want if you're not well? (And I'm not well) Wish that I could just be bold enough to ask you for your help (Help, help) And I know that you been waiting for someone new to seek you out And I think that we can make it if I told myself I was allowed Want me when I don't expect you Follow me, I can't neglect you People say the medicine can help you and protect you Apologies in advance, I don't mean to offend you But I don't know how to dance, I'm not gonna pretend to Issue is that it's already all up in my mental How will it help me if I put ink into a pencil? Used to be an optimist, lately I been resentful Lately my life has been the opposite of gentle I'm starting to question if it's a life that I can handle Used to be a Maccabee, now I'm low on the candle Got the oil comin' outta me, I'mma light up a scandal Lot of people tellin' me "Dalt, you gotta be careful" Promise that you're there for me, ain't nobody to swear to If I swallow everything, do I really need air, too? If life is like a circus, then tell me why it's not fair, too Open up and drop my guard to let you save me from myself (Save me from myself) I'm afraid that if I let you in, I'll lose my mental health (Health) What's the point of getting everything you want if you're not well? (And I'm not well) Wish that I could just be bold enough to ask you for your help (Help, help)
