you tell me I'm smart that I'm strong that i can do it but how can i be smart when i can't do simple math how can i be strong when some days i can barely drag myself out of bed how can i do it when i can't eat my breakfast you tell me I'm pretty that I'm fine that it will be okay but how can i be pretty when i look in a mirror i see someone who is not me how can i be fine when life seems grey and dull how can it be okay when the days drag on and on and i just want to sleep you tell me you love me that I'm safe that I can live but how can you love someone as broken as me how can i be safe when I'm with myself how can i live when i can barely survive you tell me that you'll be there for me that you'll always be here that no matter what ill have you but how can you be when you don't understand what going on how can you be here when i can say the same how can i always have you when I'm afraid of scaring you off you tell me lies and i can't tell you that i don't believe you because it would hurt you and i can't do that im so sorry but i just can't believe
