i've been fighting for so long
i'm so tired of singing this same old song.

"i'm fine, i swear"
i say to people who don't even care.

waiting by my phone for a single friend to text
but it's fine, they usually just forget.

i've been alone before,
it was something i was always able to afford

but now?
i don't know how to live
when i have so much left to give
and the people around me
don't care whether i'm free
from my burdens because
a burden that is mine
could never hurt them
... right?

i'm empty and my friends don't care
but its fine, i swear
