"I'm fine."
I grit my teeth as I tell the lie.
Thanks to laughter with more force than Vader
And smiles fake like PhotoShop,
I'd say the mask I wear all day
Does a pretty good job of staying on.
And hiding the demons
That lay within my soul.
"I'm just cold."
I pull my long sleeves down over my hands.
They cover my scars.
It's easy to do
If the volcano of my skin starts oozing red.
Out of sight,
Out of mind.
"It was an accident."
I look my father straight in the eye.
I can't tell him the truth.
He'd get angry.
He'd take away my blade...s.
Will he kick me out?
Put me on some pill?
I'm never gonna risk it.
"They're just lyrics."
This song knows me too well.
Every word is part of a story I cannot bear to tell.
Not leaving my bed
Until the thoughts in my head
Transform into dreams.
Or nightmares.
"I don't even care."
You left me shattered on the floor.
Picking up infinite pieces
Too small to ever repair.
I love you too much to let go.
Don't worry my darling, it's okay.
You only f***ing broke me.
"Leave me alone."
I cannot cry in front of you.
That's the worst thing I could do.
Leave but take me with you.
Blast Imagine Dragons songs as we drive.
Don't care about the world
Just keep your eyes on me.
"I hate you."
I love you.
But you destroyed me.
The visible scars are nothing compared
To the one on my heart.
I can't even look at you.
I don't want you
But I do.
"Don't worry about me."
This I mean.
Don't waste your time on me.
I'm not worth it, I promise.
I'm not okay,
But that's okay.
Baby be you
And have a nice life.
Don't worry about me,
Mine ends tonight.
