I broke down and cried too many times,
the ambulance came rushing by.
I called a friend, said I’d be okay
before the blue men took me away.
2 am, the morning rain.
A camera flash lightens my face.
A plastic bracelet, defeated heart.
Hartgrove’s finest, maybe I’ll like it here.
Lock me up, don’t let me leave,
force me into what they see.
I say that I feel happy,
but their bullshit ain’t helping.
I’ve never felt more alone,
it’s been days now, my hair’s all grown.
Will you ever let me go?
My heart sunk, don’t let them know.
Important change, I can’t accept.
Maybe there’s no good in me left.
My parents tired, I’ve had enough.
Is this a part of being young?
230 pounds, ten milligrams,
I’m thanking God I haven’t relapsed.
I’m so so sorry, don’t know what for.
There is not a single aspect of life I live for.
Lock me up, don’t let me leave,
force me into what they see.
I say that I feel happy,
but their bullshit ain’t helping.
I’ve never felt more alone,
it’s been days now, my hair’s all grown.
Will you ever let me go?
My heart sunk, don’t let them know.
The final day, I’m glad it’s through.
Back to having nothing to look forward to.
In two years time, I’ll be alright.
Not perfect, but enough to get by.
But in the meantime, send me a sign.
Give me an answer, my mind isn’t right.
I know I’m giving up so easy,
I wish that you couldn’t see me.
How could someone so beautiful have been so ugly?
Years ago, I had to leave,
my mental health no one could see.
It’s no real thing to be happy,
but believing it could be helping.
Never time to be alone,
make sure my emptiness never grows.
Find some time to let it go,
and make sure nobody knows.
