*tw: hopelessness, sadness, loneliness*
i don't know
i don't know
i don't know what i feel
i don't know why i'm here
i don't know what is real
i don't know
i don't know
i don't know who i am
i don't know who i was
i don't know what's wrong with me
i don't know
i don't know
i don't know what to do
now that i'm here
crying in the bathroom
emptiness spreading throughout
my entire body
a void opening underneath my feet
and swallowing me whole
i don't know
i don't know
i don't know why i can't tell
anyone how i'm feeling
and yet i want to shout it to the entire world
i don't know
i don't know
i don't know why i can get like this
at the drop of a hat
i don't know why my sadness comes and goes
i don't know
i don't know
i don't know who i am or what i'm feeling
or what to do or how to fix it
it feels like i don't know anything
like i've forgotten everything i've ever known
aside from this empty sadness i'm feeling
i don't know
i don't know
i don't know why but i keep repeating
these words over and over
i guess the only thing i really know is that
i don't know
i don't know
i don't know
