First I was afraid, I was petrified
and as I grew up the terror never left my side
Been awake so many nights so scared of what don't ask me why,
it's hard to trust the things that happen if I close my eyes
My trembling back, my pulsing ice,
feels like I'm under an attack and just about to die
Crushed by my own shame, can't even look you in the eye
Wonder if there is a phobia of just being alive
You will survive, you will survive,
Even though he went too far and made your boyfriend cry
You will survive, you will survive,
There's strength in you in your darkest hour,
You never know when you'll see the light
Woke up and he was gone, found my toothbrush by the door
twenty dollars on the counter telling me that I'm a whore
Thought he could woo with words, I was nearly on the floor
Could barely see the second time he tried to ask for more
I couldn't think, I couldn't cry,
Wish that I had never touched a drink or let him stay the night
Denied so many times
it means nothing for his side
How many others hate themselves that much
they'd smile through all the lies?
[Final Chorus]

And when you're feeling alone I'll be with you
You say you're better alone but I will be with you
But I seem the best version of me when you're looking
The hues are all clearer, you colour me in
Thousands of miles from the private school
and you say I and you
and it sounds pretty cool
When you see only deep remember me
Remember you're not the only one whose body will bleed
Onto my sheet red is all you see when mouths are running
You're the wolf to the sheep, you'll never stop the hunting
Cover what's bigger with coffee and weed
And you say you and me
and it sounds pretty sweet
You and I (do you lie?)
You and (do you lie?)
You and (do you lie?)
You and (do you lie?)
And when you're feeling alone I'll be with you
You say you're better alone, but I will be with you

People being nice

People being nice make me so uneasy
Feels like I'm faking though I mean no harm
Think it's connected to mum and dad
A therapist could tell me exactly what's wrong
(oooh oooh oooh oooh)
People being sad make me so unhappy
It's probably my fault that they've got nowhere to go
The guilt is eased by my second coffee
I'm in 4D head injected with aerosol
(oooh oooh oooh oooh)
Cynical, it's permanent
Can't let myself
Feel this good
For too long
