lyrics

I have been lying to myself for the past year.
Guess you could say the future’s got me scared.
Running from myself could only work for so long.
If I pretend for long enough, maybe I’ll truly feel strong.

It’s been a long time since I could lay my head and relax for a while.
It’s been a long time since I’ve looked into the mirror and seen a smile.

And I’m a little hesitant to get up off the ground,
for fear of things being worse next time around.
Somebody pick me up.
