Verse 1:
please remind me, that i exist
or i’m afraid this might persist
the silence likes to scream at me
it usually sings your name
Chorus:
is it weird i enjoy the pain
it’s sometimes more gentle than you ever were
i lie and tell myself it’s better than feeling numb
it took years to feel something again
Verse 2:
i lie and tell myself feeling is a beautiful thing
a gentle reminder that i exist
a reason to come back down to earth
stop and smell the roses
Bridge:
but i often sit and wonder when my life will begin
it feels like i’m sitting and preparing for something big
but the uncertainty is something i can’t handle anymore
watching everyone else actually live is torturous
Chorus:
if i get told one more time to focus on myself i’m gonna fucking scream
how much more self reflection am i supposed to do
before someone thinks i matter
Verse 3:
it’s not fair that even the worst people have others there for them
Outro:
but next week, maybe i won’t cry
maybe i’ll finally meet up with that coworker
without avoiding her at work because i get scared to mess shit up and let someone in
