When your world’s falling to pieces,
When it feels like you’ve been stabbed in the gut,
When your life is lacking meaning
And you can’t get off your butt,

When getting out of bed
Seems impossible to do,
When people say they understand
But they haven’t got a clue,

When you’re living life for others,
‘Cause you’d rather be dead,
When you’re filled with overwhelming guilt
About the life you’ve lead,

Please know that it’s okay to be selfish
When all this is going on.
Taking care of yourself
Surely can’t be wrong.
And do not hide the tears you’ve shed.
Do not try to run away.
‘Cause, whether you like it or not,
I am here to stay!
