How do you live with yourself?
When your mind has been twisted,
With so many anxieties?
You plan out every step ahead of time
Way ahead of time
You choose your actions carefully
Because one wrong move and you're dead
You don't make eye contact
People will see your pain, these eyes reveal everything
You walk faster
So no one can stare at you for very long
You don't speak up for yourself
There is nothing worth speaking for
You put a stupid smile on your face
Get through the day, you can cry your eyes out later
Every single step
Every single breath
Makes you wonder
Why you're here
And why it's happening to you
Every scar
Every tear
Reminds you that
You're broken
Useless
And unlovable

How do you live with yourself?

Because one wrong move and you're dead

People will see your pain, these eyes reveal everything
You walk faster
So no one can stare at you for very long
You don't speak up for yourself
There is nothing worth speaking for
You put a stupid smile on your face
Get through the day, you can cry your eyes out later
Every single step
Every single breath
Makes you wonder
Why you're here
And why it's happening to you
Every scar
Every tear
Reminds you that
You're broken
Useless
And unlovable
