I’m stuck at the bottom of the ocean,

Wondering if I could drown in emotions.

Got cut on the broken shards of my heart,

I’ve got monsters trying to tear me apart.

There’s a battle raging inside my head,

So don’t be surprised I’m looking so dead.

I need a hero who knows how to swim,

My thoughts are filling my mind to the brim.

The pressure in my skull keeps me controlled,

Can’t let it out, there’d be destruction untold.

I swear my heart stopped beating long ago.

My brain’s broken and it’s starting to show.

Memories took their toll on me,

Left scars you’re never going to see.

So please believe me when I say,

I won’t ever feel things the same way.

I was broken, and I got used.

I got shattered, and I’m still bruised.

I made a sacrifice to keep you happy

So I gave up my precious sanity.

I won’t be making that mistake again,

If what I know now could be known back then.

I wish I could’ve warned myself to run,

Maybe avoid all the damage that’s been done.

Please keep me warm till the summertime comes,

But I can’t breathe with water in my lungs.

Show me that I’m still capable to love.

I’m not perfect, but maybe I’m enough.

I’m empty inside, I’m a fresh new slate,

Can’t change my past, and I don’t like my fate
