lyrics

I thought I heard a monster rummaging through my closet, trying to cover up its tracks
Living in constant fear it stole the life I wanted and that I’ll never get it back
Don’t want no pity, don’t want no magic bean
Wanna reach out my arms out and feel the spaces in between
That I haven’t felt in a long time, I’m in a war with my own mind

All my life I’ve been trying to lift the weight I’m feeling up off me
And though I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, it helps that there are people just like me
(I’m in a war with my own mind)

My therapist says I should take more selfies, she says it’s good for my self-esteem
So that plus bad TV and doing some face masks has turned into my self-care routine
I’ve been eating ice cream for breakfast and bad dreams for dinner
Well it’s no surprise, then, that I’ve been wearing thinner
But my bathroom scale seems to disagree

All my life I’ve been trying to lift the weight I’m feeling up off me
And though I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, it helps that there are people just like me
All my life I’ve been trying to lift the weight I’m feeling up off me
And though I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, it helps that there are people just like me

Living life in rewind, feeling trapped inside my mind
Unearthing demons that I now have to face
I can’t wait ‘til I get better, and stay better
And avoid feeling sick in the first place

All my life I’ve been trying to lift the weight I’m feeling up off me
And though I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, it helps that there are people just like me
All my life I’ve been trying to lift the weight I’m feeling up off me
And though I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, it helps that there are people just like me
Oh, it helps that there are people just like me
Oh, it helps that there are people just like me
