To the people that made me who I was, To the people who loved me dearly, Yet hurt me harder. To the people who made me broken, This is for you. I know you are not aware of what I try to say, I would know because, I'd never want you to. But waking up 9 o'clock past breakfast, Waking up to the sight of emptiness, Made me feel about to burst. I know you have inspired me to be better. I know you have inspired me to skyrocket my way. Yet I also know what you did; I knew of your words, I knew of your actions. I first thought you saw me as a star; Bright, and soaring, Now, flashing back the things that happened before, I felt you saw me as luggage: Nothing but something to spend hundreds on. I know I let you down, But it isn't my fault my lungs can't breathe the same air, I know I give you burden, That I annoy you a hundredfold rather than make you feel loved, Rather than make you feel proud of me. I'm sorry I fell down on my absolute lows, I'm sorry if I have always kept what truth I have, I'm sorry I let the opportunities slip by my fingers, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do. I want to go back where my world wasn't shrouded, I want to go back where I gave you smiles and not pain, I want to find myself again, But I just can't, you can't understand; But I just can't, you can't understand.

To the people that made me who I was, To the people who loved me dearly, Yet hurt me harder. To the people who made me broken, This is for you. I know you are not aware of what I try to say, I would know because, I'd never want you to. But waking up 9 o'clock past breakfast, Waking up to the sight of emptiness, Made me feel about to burst. I know you have inspired me to be better. I know you have inspired me to skyrocket my way. Yet I also know what you did; I knew of your words, I knew of your actions. I first thought you saw me as a star; Bright, and soaring, Now, flashing back the things that happened before, I felt you saw me as luggage: Nothing but something to spend hundreds on. I know I let you down, But it isn't my fault my lungs can't breathe the same air, I know I give you burden, That I annoy you a hundredfold rather than make you feel loved, Rather than make you feel proud of me. I'm sorry I fell down on my absolute lows, I'm sorry if I have always kept what truth I have, I'm sorry I let the opportunities slip by my fingers, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do. I want to go back where my world wasn't shrouded, I want to go back where I gave you smiles and not pain, I want to find myself again, But I just can't, you can't understand; But I just can't, you can't understand.
It's so hard to feel what's right when the ones who keep holding you down are the ones who made you better before
