Lyrics

I bent 'til I broke just to fit your frame
Cut out pieces just to keep your name
Every mirror says I'm still the same
A hollow outline with a different face
I gave you proof in every breath I took
Every page I wrote every line you overlooked
I poured myself out just to feel you stay
But I was never enough anyway
I keep chasing something I can't become
Every step forward still leaves me numb
If I'm everything you said I should be
Why do I still feel like nothing to me?
Trying doesn't save me
It just drags me deeper down
I scream until it breaks me
But no one hears a sound
I gave you every version of myself to keep
Now I'm buried underneath what I couldn't be
If giving everything still leaves me empty
What's left of me to save me?
Trying doesn't save me
I wore your words like they were truth
Carved them deep just to feel approved
Every scar spells out your name
Every failure feeds the same
I'm a shadow of what I tried to prove
A losing fight I was born to lose
If I disappear would it change a thing?
Or just prove I was never anything
I keep chasing something I can't become
Every step forward still leaves me numb
If I'm everything you said I should be
Why do I still feel like nothing to me?
Trying doesn't save me
It just drags me deeper down
I scream until it breaks me
But no one hears a sound
I gave you every version of myself to keep
Now I'm buried underneath what I couldn't be
If giving everything still leaves me empty
What's left of me to save me?
Trying doesn't save me
I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING AND STILL CAME UP EMPTY
BLEGH
Cut me open you'll find nothing inside
Just a lifetime of trying to justify
Why I'm never enough
Never enough
Say it again I'll carve it deeper in
If I'm the problem where do I begin?
Erase my name
Erase my face
I tried
I tried
I TRIED
AND IT STILL WASN'T ENOUGH
Trying doesn't save me
It just proves I can't escape
I built my life on maybe
And watched it all decay
I gave you every version of myself to keep
Now I'm buried underneath what I couldn't be
If giving everything still leaves me empty
Maybe nothing was meant for me
Trying doesn't save me
Trying just destroys me
