You don't know how much I've cried
Since I had to say goodbye
You don't know the pain I've felt
So, don't tell me I am not myself
Why couldn't you give it a try
To take me seriously for once, why?
Maybe I am someone else,
But that doesn't mean I am not myself
It's hard to believe that this too shall pass
I had to leave 'cause you refused to grasp
That I'm my own not yours to control
I'm my own not yours to control
If you can't face what your life's become
Nothing will change and you'll remain numb
If I can't use my trauma as an excuse
Then you can't blame me for your attitude
You don't know hard I've tried
To show you I am only mine

There's always so much goin' on
And always somethin' goin' wrong
This road to heaven feels too long
Oh woah-oh-oh
Am I livin' in hell right now?
Well then, it's not so bad somehow
If the demons are my own shadow
Woah-oh-oh
I can conquer my own mind right
I try too hard to keep it all right
But what if there's no right or wrong
And I'm just here singing a song
Woah-oh
Woah, woah, woah-oh-oh
Woah, woah, woah-oh-oh
I feel like things have to be
Simpler than they seem to be
I take so much shit out on me
Oh woah-oh-oh
Do I put myself through hell
When I find peace then I can tell
I put myself inside this cell
Oh woah-oh-oh
Can I free myself from my mind
It feels like I've been trapped inside mine
Yellin' out for someone's help
But all I've needed is myself
Woah-oh
Woah, woah, woah-oh-oh
Woah, woah, woah-oh-oh
I feel like things have to be
Woah
Simpler than they seem to be
I take so much shit out on me
Oh woah-oh-oh

Living a Lie

I see the good in people
I see the good in me
But, what if there's nobody
That deserves to be happy
This could be all illusion
Everything that we see
What if we are all here
'Cause we've chosen misery
Religion's a distraction
And peace will never happen
'Cause there are way too many people
Who refuse to take action
They don't want you to be happy
'Cause they're not happy for themselves
And why bother even trying
If we're all living in hell
Is this really what life is then
One big fat fucking lie
We believe a bunch of dead men
Over anyone alive
If only that would sink in
Then people might open their eyes
To see all the truth around them
But don't we all love living a lie
Nothing lasts forever right
Isn't that what they all say
"Grab the reigns of life and hold on tight
'Cause you'll be dead someday
Yeah you'll be dead some day"
But, what if that's not true at all
And all our high hopes will only ever fall
And there's no one to hear all our desperate calls
'Cause "God's" the one behind it all
Is this really what life is then
One big fat fucking lie
We believe a bunch of dead men
Over anyone alive
If only that would sink in
Then people might open their eyes
To see all the truth around them
But don't we all love living a lie

You Know

How would you live if you had already died
What if I said that you've been dead this whole time
And that the voice in your head has done a great job at lying
Hiding the fact that you aren't just surviving
Would your whole perception of everything change
Or would you rather it all just stay the same
Because owning your potential is too much to face
And failure's always sweeter with someone else to blame
You know
You know
You know you can do so much more
Than you give yourself credit for
What's the point in breathing if you don't know what you're breathing for
Try living like you're dead, not dying
You might feel alive a little more
Is there anything you wanna take to your grave
Do you regret any thoughts, or words, or mistakes
See, 'cause if you're dead then every moment is a clean slate
There's nothing you can't let go of
What you give you can take
Have you been giving yourself as much as you'd like
Or have you gotten caught up in the concept of time
Spending hours like hundreds 'cause money is as real as time
There'll never be enough of both to call mine
You know
You know
You know you can do so much more
Than you're doing now, what are you waiting for
What's the point in dreaming if you don't know what you're dreaming for
Try living like you're dead, not dying
You might like life a little more

Compassion will make you beautiful
And love will set you free
Resentment will give you wrinkles
And hatred makes you ugly
What you think is what you feel
And what you feel is who you are
Who you are is up to you
No one else, so choose to start
Start lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you
Today
Start bein' you, bein' you, bein' you
It's okay
You're one of a kind
So, don't pay any mind to what they're gonna say
Love yourself today
They're just jealous anyway
You've got all this great shit goin'
And you're doin' your best to change
Into a better person
Than the one you were yesterday
It's okay to be a work in progress
And it's okay to press restart
It's okay to wanna refresh
We just gotta choose to start
Start lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you
Today
Start bein' you, bein' you, bein' you
It's okay
Start livin' your life
Don't waste a second of time
On anyone who doesn't say
It's okay
To love yourself today
Today
I've gotta pounding throb goin' on in my head
Today
I don't wanna get dressed brush, my teeth, or get out of bed
How the hell do I tell myself that I love myself
God, I need help, please
Say it with me
Start lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you
Today
Start bein' you, bein' you, bein' you
It's okay
You're one of a kind
So, don't pay any mind to what they're gonna say
It's okay
To love yourself today
I'm lovin' me, lovin' me, lovin' me
Today
I'm bein' me, bein' me, bein' me
And I'm okay
From now on, I'll only be
The shining light inside of me
Can't wait to see how great I'll be someday
I choose to love myself today
