I told myself
I can't love myself no more

If I dont try harder
Everyone will let me go

I have to make myself see
There's a reason
to stay

Can't stay this way
if I don't hold on
I'll fall away

Can't love myself
a little more
24 hours
awake

My mistakes
follow me
like a shadow

Do I deserve this
Guilt washes over me
like soft rain

Stuck in my throat
       flowing into my lungs

swimming in my veins

I'm petrified
I won't listen to myself
