Lyrics

I don’t want to fall apart
I’ve made this hurt into an art
Sometimes I don’t know the why
But then
In my mind, the dark comes in
It breaks me down, I break my skin
God, I can’t think about the why
Again
CHORUS
Don’t romanticise these scars
They’re not beautiful
But they’re mine
I know these red lines
I don’t love the marks I’ve made
But they are powerful
The pain won’t die
And so I turn to these red lines
I started shallow, all in vain
The hope that pain would drown the pain
I knew something would hurt me
So I let it be me
Over time, it’s grown too much
Sometimes it just won’t hurt enough
If someone has to feel it
Let it be me
And oh, I feel dirty, I feel shame
Bare the edges, lay the blame
Do I even deserve my name
Like thin paper in this flame
CHORUS
No, I don’t want to end it all
Like it or not, I’m staying
And no, this is not glamourous
I don’t know what game you’re playing
When you insist I just want to be seen
You don’t realise what you’re saying
Or all the stigmas you’re portraying
CHORUS
All the progress I’ve made
It’s irrefutable
But by design
I can’t escape from these red lines
I’ve told myself that I am strong
That I am powerful
But it’s a lie
And so I’ve turned to these red lines
