Lyrics:
So little did I know
That there’s no turning back once you’ve committed the crime
Oh how far I had to go
Too bad I never saw the warning signs in her eyes
Trying to escape, better yet disappear
From the person staring at me in the mirror
‘Cause she looks more and more unknown to me every day
And I tried relentlessly to keep her here
But she wants the end for us both to be near
Now it’s either her or me
Only one of us can stay
So let this be my battle cry
‘Cause I’m fighting for my life
And I won’t stop until I’ve made my way back to safe haven
No need for an alibi
When it’s just me, myself, and I
But this time I’m gonna rise up and find myself liberated
Let go let go
Loosen up your choke hold
I can’t breathe when you keep me in your grip
Who would have known
My very own shadow
would reach out its foot hoping that I trip
Kick me when I’m already down
Then just leave me there on the ground dying
Alone alone
‘Til you want one more go
And I brace myself to do it again
Trying to escape, better yet disappear
From the person staring at me in the mirror
‘Cause she looks more and more unknown to me every day
And I tried relentlessly to keep her here
But she wants the end for us both to be near
Now it’s either her or me
Only one of us can stay
So let this be my battle cry
‘Cause I’m fighting for my life
And I won’t stop until I’ve made my way back to safe haven
No need for an alibi
When it’s just me, myself, and I
But this time I’m gonna rise up and find myself liberated
Rise up liberated
Rise up liberated
Rise up liberated
Lyrics:
To my younger self,
I’m writing you from 2012
It’s not high school that is killing me,
It’s my mental health
Know you struggle now,
but brace yourself for these few years of hell
You’ll paint a smile everyday, but every night you’ll pray for help
Wish there was something that I could do to save you from what’s coming
You might be a soldier, but know that your demons built an army
And they’re taking over now
All I see through my tears is black
Tell mom and dad I love them, but I have to go No turning back
And I know that your heart is aching
I know that you don’t know why
And you can’t stop your hands from shaking
Now you want to die
If I could tell you everything I know now
I’d tell you that the darkness always fades out
In the end the light will emerge with no doubt
You’ve just gotta keep going, baby
Don’t back down
If I could tell you everything I know now
I’d tell you that the darkness always fades out
In the end the light will emerge with no doubt
You’ve just gotta keep going, baby
Don’t back down
To my younger self,
I’m writing you from 2020
You made it through the war and woke up to a new beginning
You graduated college
Mom and dad are both so proud
That you rose up from the ashes
A survivor you are now
How I wish I could write to the girl back in 2012
And send her all the light to find her way without losing herself
And show her all the things she’ll miss if she don’t get a second chance
Thank God I’m here today to tell you that you’ll make it through the black
And I know that your heart was aching
I know that you put up a fight
From making it through all the breaking
Now you feel alive
If I could tell you everything I know now
I’d tell you that the darkness always fades out
In the end the light will emerge with no doubt
You’ve just gotta keep going, baby
Don’t back down
If I could tell you everything I know now
I’d tell you that the darkness always fades out
In the end the light will emerge with no doubt
You’ve just gotta keep going, baby
Don’t back down
