[Verse 1]
If I'd had known that from the minute I was born
That the price of my existence
Would be the weight of expectation
Then I wouldn't fucking be here
How can I focus on the life I'm "supposed to lead"
When every day I struggle with existing?
[Verse 2]
I've dug a hole so deep
In my mind that I can no longer see
The light of the sun
I can no longer hear
The voices of people I love
[Verse 3]
I've been breaking my hands
Trying to carry the burden that I've placed on myself
I'm so afraid of the end
I've led myself to believe
I may never be happy again
[Verse 4]
I think the hardest part of all
Is trying to justify self-deprecation
When I am constantly surrounded by sources
Of love and affection
I know that I'm not on my own
But I can't shake the feeling
That I'm in this alone
There's no one that I feel safe with
[Verse 5]
All I've wanted for so long
Is to succumb to a sleep
That I am not afraid of
[Bridge]
Give me the strength to love myself
As I am told that I am loved
May I believe, despite my doubt
That someday I'll be good enough
Give me the strength to love myself
As I am told that I am loved
May I believe, despite my doubt
That someday I'll be good enough
[Breakdown]
Hindsight is a miserable thing
When you don't know where you're going
And you don't care where you've been
Hindsight is a miserable thing
When you don't know where you're going
And you don't care where you've been
