I’ve been on a low,
It’s time to get on that high,
I’ve slit my wrists,
I’ve burned my arms,
I’ve tried overdosing,
I’m not alone,
It takes courage to announce that I’m not ashamed,
I’m balancing on a thin rope,
I want to be alive,
My head has been underwater for quite some time,
Do you know my reason to stick around?
It can be hard, so hard
To keep pushing on,
Sometimes I just can’t do it,
I just want to lay there on that hospital bed and listen to my heartbeat fade out,
There isn’t a reason to give up,
I got dreams to live out,
I see my tears blend into the blankets,
I see everything in front of me.
All my what ifs,
My what would haves,
I’m not alone,
This is my battle,
I’ve been on a low,
It feels like my lie isn’t mine,
It’s time to get on a high.
There’s no one hitting up my phone asking me if I’m okay,
I’ve got me,
I’ve got music,
I can save my life,
What’s a life without a struggle?
