lyrics
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
