Fake a smile
Dry your eyes
Hide your scars
Tell better lies

Take a breath
Don't cut your wrist
Don't black out
Unclench your fist

Just stay calm
Walk away
Block them out
Get through the day

This is what I tell myself
This is what I try to do
This is why people say I need help
This is why I need you

But... for today I'll talk myself out of this state of mind
For today I'll keep track of my time
For today I will see what I can do
To keep my mind off of you

Talking to myself
