For once in my life
I'm not feeling so static
not as apathetic
You ain't bringing me down
Yeah, you ain't bringing me down
I-E-I-E-I won't deny you
The time and the place, and the chance to save face
You were being an asshole
You were being a dick
IF I'M YOUR FRIEND, THEN ACT LIKE IT
So now every time I'm about to believe an excuse for the way you're treating me, I double check
I check in on myself, like "how's my mental health? When's the last time I smiled? Like, When's the last time I Laughed? Or fucking masturbated?!"
And I'm not trying to impress you, cause I shouldn't have to.
I'm just loving myself, more than anyone else.
Is there relief, I doubt it!
I never get no sleep about it!
Now every time I'm about to believe an excuse for the way you're treating me
I assess...i consider my actions, what's feuling my habits, my patterns, and ask, 'what's my role in all this?'
See, it's easy to tell myself that it takes a lifetime to heal
It's easier telling myself that this pain isn't real
Where were you?! Where were you?! Where were you?!
Where were you? Where WERE you? WHERE WERE YOU?!
For once in my life, I'm not feeling so static, not as apathetic, you ain't bringing me down, yeah, you ain't bringing me down.

The Plan

I guess I shouldn’t hesitate
To learn all that I can, before it might be too late
I guess I thought I might’ve been there by now
I guess I didn’t know it’d be so hard
Telling my momma I’m gonna make you more proud
Telling myself that I don’t know how
As confusing as it seems, we all still have our dreams
One day I’m gonna wake up in me someday
Cause if I don’t, I’d rather not wake up at all
The hardest thing that I’ve learned
Is to love me even though it hurts
Cause not being able to love me just seems worse
And It can’t get worse than being ignored
I’m sick of being ignored, why was I always ignored?
I’m not standing here for my health
To my sisters, I have cried. For my father, I have died
And ever lover who’s put their fucking hands around my neck
Why aren’t you sorry yet?
One day I’m gonna wake up in me someday
Cause if I don’t, I’d rather not wake up at all
The hardest thing that I’ve learned
Is to love me even though it hurts
Cause not being able to love me just seems worse
Low, low, low. I’m sick of feeling so low, low, low
I’m tired of acting so hopeless. I’m sick of feeling so broken
Low, low, low. I’m sick of feeling so low, low, low
I’m tired of acting so hopeless. I’m sick of feeling so broken
We live to learn. We live to fight
And wait our turn, and do what’s right
As confusing as it seems, we all still have our dreams
One day I’m gonna wake up in me someday
Cause if I don’t, I’d rather not wake up at all
The hardest thing that I’ve learned, is to love me even though it hurts
And it still hurts. Even if it always hurts
Not being able to love me still seems worse
