When I was younger I would sit alone
And wonder what my life was worth,
Was living something I deserved?
Well now I'm stronger,
And I'm learning how to conquer
What's inside my head,
But every now and then:
It feels like nothing ever works for me.
I won't amount to anything.
I miss my friends,
And they don't miss me at all.
But I can hardly blame them.
Cause I've been so hard to find these days,
I got lost but now I found my place.
I really thought that my life was over,
And I couldn't get much lower.
But I took some time and got some rest,
And my bleeding heart is on my chest.
This weight is off my shoulders,
I'm not there but I'm getting closer.
It's okay if you don't want to talk,
I know I let you down.
I'm gonna make it up to you somehow.
Cause I've been so hard to find these days,
I got lost but now I found my place.
I really thought that my life was over,
And I couldn't get much lower.
But I took some time and got some rest,
And my bleeding heart is on my chest.
This weight is off my shoulders,
I'm not there but I'm getting closer.
I was scared and jaded,
Growing up in stages,
Falling on the pavement,
But I know I'll make it.
I was scared and jaded,
Growing up in stages,
Running out of patience,
But I know I'll make it out.
I'll make it out!
I was scared and jaded,
Growing up in stages,
Falling on the pavement,
But I know I'll make it.
I was scared and jaded,
Growing up in stages,
Running out of patience,
But I know I'll make it.
