Composure Is Key

I try to compose myself when in your presence

But it seems i get perceived as a good for nothing peasant

I just long for that person to hold 

But in the night im left feeling cold



I just struggle to move fourth with my life

Taking those bad nights in my strife

My heart bleeds everyday

I can’t take it that I had to put you down to lay
