Only when I think no one loves me

Only when no one talks to me

I can change, I just don’t want to

Even when they want me to


We used to be best friends, now strangers

Used to be family, now foe

I wish everything was normal, but it can’t be

Normality takes time, which we don’t have


‘Just get over it’ they tell me

I wish it was that easy

These memories I hold and remember

They just won’t leave me


Depression consumes me

Like a dark, empty space with nowhere to go

I want to run from it, to fight it

But it takes more than love to cure me


Only when I think no one loves me

Only when no one talks to me

I can change, I just don’t want to

Even when they want me to


‘Don’t save those who don’t want to be saved’ they say

Deep down everyone wants to be saved

It takes courage to admit you’re wrong,

It takes strength to admit you’re scared
