You can't just say it will get better because it won't
I say I feel alright but I don't
I just want space to myself to do what I need to
When I've done it there's nothing I can doAs I watch my feeling coming out
I can't help but think the love I had that's now gone to nout
The feeling inside is making me feel dark
Now I've done this I'm sure to leave a markI feel rubbish and unwanted
You tell me it will get better but you know you don't know that
Just tell me the truth about how I'm actually feeling
A feeling of darkness and a voice of squealingThe pain inside is getting to much to handle
I feel like I'm dying but people think I'm a candle
You're making me think you don't want me
So I might just go and see what you seeThe truth is I don't want to be here
It's hard for it to get better and I don't want to jeer
Just leave me alone and get out of my space
I don't want to hurt you and kick you out of placeThe joy of life is people can change
I can't because of people's range
The people I hurt keep on coming back for another try
I'm not hurting you I'm just trying to be niceJust understand me and what I'm here for
The sound of regret and you feeling poor
I'm dying inside I can't stay no more
It will get better but I'm lying on the floor
