lyrics

Here’s how it feels to spend most of your life
To stand looking inward but from the outside
Feeling so useless and lost and afraid
Invisible scars were the price that I paid

If I’m always just gonna feel bad
Then I’ll take all of the sadness I had
And I’ll rip and I’ll pull it away
I’ll let myself be sad some other day

Cause I’m tired of nights spent in bed
impossible thoughts running around my head
Thinking of things I can’t be
They’re just not for me

Here’s how it feels to spend most of your time
Rewriting your history line after line
Do I have the strength to take hold of myself
And throw it away and become someone else

If I’m always just gonna feel bad
I’ll take all the anger and sadness I had
And I’ll burn them until they are fuel
That I can use to make somebody new

Cause I’m tired of nights spent in bed
Obsessing with everything wrong in my head
All the things I want to be
They could be for me
