Lyrics

It hurts, but I can take it; just read the book from the start
There's no pain that isn't worth letting you see my heart
I open up the door and I let down my guard
I let the demons in and let them tear me apart
They put my past on trial and they deny my growth
But I don't mind, because we all have both
I did a lot of harm, praising the shortcuts I've taken
Put my fuckups to a record that now needs to be straightened
I was only ten years old when I felt this hopeless
Thinking I'd go gently to the night, no protest
Walking toward the river, said farewell to the trees
Until my course was redirected; I was blown back by the breeze
She looked up from my journal, she had tears in her eyes
She said, "I like this story better. Neither one of us dies."
She said, "I had no idea that you had felt like me...
Like no one loved you, no one cared. Hated yourself like me."
Suicidal, with no one to tell, like me
She almost fell, like me
Said, "You can't keep this to yourself. You have the help they need."
So this one is for her, and for the younger me
Before the drugs and all the poison I passed out for free
For all the kids who took it in, but still felt so hungry
Starved for love and for some hope and begging on their knees
This is for that kid that thinks they won't get through
When I was still your age, I thought it pointless, too
This is for the scars that they think they need to hide
You are loved, and you are safe here, so put down the knife
To all the kids who can't see love here on the other side
I'll be the breeze to knock you over, screaming "Come back to life"
This is for that kid that thinks they won't get through
When I was still your age, I thought it pointless, too
This is for the scars that they think they need to hide
You are loved, and you are safe here, so put down the knife
To all the kids who can't see love here on the other side
I'll be the breeze to knock you over, screaming "Come back to life"
Come back to life
Come back to life
