My heart is on fire
My mind is a liar
But you say I'm just tired
Not depressed
But I've confessed
There's this pain in my chest
And this level of sadness
Is only growing higher
Leave me alone
I want to be on my own
This place is not a home
This is where my thoughts deepen
This bed that I sleep in
Where my tears drown the sheets
And my bones weaken
Screaming at my scars to quit fading
Looking in the mirror
At this person I'm hating
Crying in the dark
While my heart's breaking
This war with myself can't be won
The plan was never to hurt anyone
Except me, my pain can't be undone
Save me from myself
I don't think I can fight
Save me from this war
Save me from tonight
Keep me from the dark
It's not where I want to belong
Save me from this war
Save me from who I've become
At this point I'm
beyond lost and confused
With a heart that's more than bruised
This tongue holding back its secrets
While I'm suicidal and
ignoring my weakness
But you still tell me I'm just a mess
Not depressed
