I wake up to the mirror, i don't like what I see, a stranger space keep staring at me i smile for the world but it's paper thin a mask I've been wearing that's cracking within I try to be better every step forward Still feel so wrong I'm choosing a version of me I can't find It goes in the shadows that's trapped in my mind I'm screaming inside but the world doesn't hear The voice in my head Is the most fear I am tired of myself I can't carry this weight running in circles but it's always too late I'm breaking apart in the silence keep crying out loud where no one can see I am so tired, so tired of being like this why wishing tomorrow won't look like today but they're closing in harder and harder

Tired of myself
I wake up to the mirror, i don't like what I see, a stranger space keep staring at me i smile for the world but it's paper thin a mask I've been wearing that's cracking within I try to be better every step forward Still feel so wrong I'm choosing a version of me I can't find It goes in the shadows that's trapped in my mind I'm screaming inside but the world doesn't hear The voice in my head Is the most fear I am tired of myself I can't carry this weight running in circles but it's always too late I'm breaking apart in the silence keep crying out loud where no one can see I am so tired, so tired of being like this why wishing tomorrow won't look like today but they're closing in harder and harder
