Maybe if I were better, I wouldn't feel like you'd left

Maybe if I were better I wouldn't have this pain in my chest

Maybe If I were better Id have the words to explain

Why lately I've just been feeling sort of insane

Maybe if I were better, I could forgive myself

Maybe if I were better, I wouldn't act like someone else

Maybe if I were better, I would smile and not feel pained

From all of these memories taking residence in my brain

Maybe if I were better id have the words to say

I love you, but I hate me

Yes, I'm the one to blame

Maybe if I were better, I wouldn't wish for this

For death to come in and grant my wish

Maybe if I were better, I wouldn't think about

All the terrible things I could do to take myself out

Out of this equation

Out of this life

Out of this pain

Out of this strife

Out of the muddle

Out of this mess

Out of all this fucking pain in my chest

Out of this weight

Weighting me down

Out of the thoughts

That keep pulling me down

Out of all my misery

Oh, God please, set me free

No don't do that 

I want to hurt

Maybe if I were better

It wouldn't feel deserved.

Not me. (2023)Where stories live. Discover now
