"What doesn't kill you
Makes you wish you were dead" this song means so much to me and I get to cover it for live lounge today.
"Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper
And I can't take
One more moment of this silence
The loneliness is haunting me" my eyes get kind of watery, my fans know my struggles with depression and this song will bring them closer to how I feel.
"And the weight of the world's getting harder to hold up
It comes in waves, I close my eyes" I close my eyes and grab my stomach.
"Hold my breath and let it bury me
I'm not OK and it's not all right
Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again
Who will fix me now?
Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself
Don't let me drown" I've never sung with so much passion before. I can feel it coursing through my veins.
"Who will make me fight?
Drag me out alive?
Save me from myself
Don't let me drown
What doesn't destroy you
Leaves you broken instead
Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper
And I can't take
One more moment of this silence
The loneliness is haunting me
And the weight of the worlds getting harder to hold up
It comes in waves, I close my eyes
Hold my breath and let it bury me
I'm not OK and it's not all right
Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again
Who will fix me now?
Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself
Don't let me drown
Who will make me fight?
Drag me out alive?
Save me from myself
Don't let me drown
'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own
'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own
'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own
Who will fix me now?
Who will fix me now?
Who will fix me now?
Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself
Don't let me drown" I finish. I wipe my face as a few tears have fallen. I take off the head phones and place them on the stand as people clap.
"Thanks" I say smiling and stepping off the platform.
"Oh, I didn't know anyone else was in here" I say looking at the four Aussie boys in front of me.
"We heard you singing and had to check it out." Ashton says.
"I'm Ashton" he holds out his hand, I shake it.
"I'm Luke, that's Michael, and-"
"I'm Calum" he says.
"It's nice to meet you" I say.
"It's great to meet you too, you have an amazing voice, I'd like to maybe talk to you some more. You wanna maybe go on a little coffee date tomorrow?" Ashton asks. I smile.
"I'd love to" we exchange phone numbers and I pretend to not see the looks he gives the boys or the little nudges the others give him. They have to leave but I stay for a few more minutes with my producer.
"Holy shit" I say as they leave.
"Damn girl" she says nudging me.
