lyrics

Don't you see, I thought you would fix me
I’m sorry, I wasn’t what you thought I’d be
Headlights still scare me
So does a garage door opening
I wish I was back in New England
Where I could pretend there was nothing wrong
I could build up, build up all my walls, all my walls
I would tell myself to remember the following:

You will cut yourself, cut yourself, find out that you’re manic-depressive
You’ll wonder if you’re borderline or if you’re really just something else
Manipulation suits you best
When you can excuse it with trauma
You will fall in love, fall in love with the idea of being sick
You will love yourself, love yourself when you’re unable to control it
You will drink yourself to sleep each night
You will black out on Klonopin

You will hurt yourself, hurt yourself, to make people stay with you
You will do anything to escape, you have to go home to your abusers
You will hate yourself, hate yourself when you start hurting the ones you love
You are nothing without your pain, you’ve lost yourself to the sickness
