When all goes to shit
When everything’s alright
Through thick and thin
Back me up in a fight
All it took was a boy
To tear that apart
Generation by generation
My grandma and my mom
Girl against girl is how we lose, don’t you see?
My trauma, baby, was from my dad and a boy
Why did you add to it too?
Why not find someone new?
Who’s deserving of what you did to us?
Who’s left to trust?...
It started with family
It began with friends
Born was a cycle
That will never end
Too hurt to cry
Body be numb
How else will they love
Unless I am dumb
Be blonde and brunette
600 calories a day
Maybe if I was skinny
They would like me more that way
Kiss too many to count
Let so many in
Make my lock easy to pick
Easily stabbed like a pin
Claw without a scratch
Draw blood but do...
The first to break my heart was my mother.
A mother is meant to soothe and hold you
Not to glare and scold you.
She is meant to love you through it all.
Not to tell you that it’s your fault.
And when you confide in her, she’s meant to believe you.
What she’s never supposed to do is leave you.
Yes my mother was the first to let me down, the first to break my heart.
And if you can’t trust...
Had a best friend.
Been a long time since we spoke.
If she wants to talk,
She can leave a message at the tone.
Fake friends and self centred bitches,
Bullies and brats,
Never knew so many people were rats.
Everyone leaves.
Why would they stay?
All they want is to get their way.
So many liers making my doors shut.
So many fakes making walls go up.
Who’s actually there for me?
Who’s left to ...
There’s a saying,
If you were in a room,
With everyone you’ve ever known,
Would anyone pick you?
Would anyone look specially for you?
Would anyone want to find you?
Want to stand by your side,
And say I pick her?
When I can’t sleep,
And the ceiling is the only thing I can see,
I think about that,
And I wonder would anyone pick me?
And I don’t think they would.
I go through all the candidates,
And...
I aint angry…
You can see that in my eyes.
“Just hold on to me”
Your bad dreams will become lies.
I aint sad…
You can feel it across my shoulders.
“It isnt that bad”
Your tears will soon be hers
I aint lost…
You can hear it in my heart beat.
“At what cost?”
Next to you is my favourite seat.
I am happy…
And my smile will never rust.
“You can finally see”
That there’s no one else i would trust.
