You tell me it'd be okay, that I'll be okay
I already know that
I tell myself every day.
You tell me to stay strong and, I've tried to but
You don't understand, I don't expect you to
So, why do you keep trying to?

Lately, I've been falling apart. Breaking down and cracking apart
Lately, I've been trying to help others more than ever with no need of helping myself
Lately, I've been fighting myself; the battle became a war
Lately, I've been hurting, never really cared about this before

How do I say how I feel when I'm too scared too?
How can I trust that this would help me?
How do I stop telling all these lies, saying "I'm fine?"
How do I stop myself from drifting away from the ones I love the most?
How can I heal myself? How can I be strong?


Lately, I've been falling apart. Breaking down and cracking apart
Lately, I've been trying to help others more than ever with no need of helping myself
Lately, I've been fighting myself; the battle became a war
Lately, I've been hurting, never really cared about this before

Trying so hard to keep it all in but, I always end up saying something.
Trying so hard to pretend I'm okay because that's how I want to feel.
Trying so hard to learn to love myself but it's harder than I thought.
Trying so hard to make you feel happy but I don't even know how
anymore.
