(Interlude)

Verse 1:

I have to fight this feeling

Running from my head down to my feet

I just wanna run away

Escape the shallow pound of my heartbeat

My pulse is non stop racing

Rationality replaced by my emotions

Guilty thoughts won’t stop playing on repeat

So bad that

I don’t want to eat

(Interlude)

Chorus:

And I hope it’ll get better

But right now it’s too far away to see

I’m still here living my life

But it’s for you, it’s not for me

(Interlude)

Verse 2:

It’s difficult living day to day

When you feel like you’re alone

You try to push yourself away

So they’re not burdened when you moan

My skin looks like a tiger

Made them marks all by myself

Some people told me it’s stupid

But it’s not me, it’s my mental health

(Interlude)

Verse 3:

People are quick to judge me

It’s fine, I don’t expect anything else

But what most fail to realise is that

I don’t expect those people to help

I’m not afraid to tell people I’m suffering

I don’t think it’s a weak thing to share

But one thing I wish I could still do

Is to make sure people cared

(Interlude)

Chorus:

And I hope it’ll get better

But right now it’s too far away to see

I’m still here living my life

But it’s for you, it’s not for me

(Interlude)

Verse 4:

So whether this song’s a reason for you

To speak up about how you really feel

Just know that you’re not alone,

Call someone, pick up your phone,

You need to tell someone to be able to heal

I’m thankful to the people I have

Those who shine a glimpse of light for me to see

Who’ve managed to make me smile at one point or another

When I didn’t have the energy

Chorus/Outro:

So trust me it all gets better

And I swear it’s not so far away

You gotta live your life,

Smiling doesn’t cost a price,

But you gotta live for you

And nobody, else
