Get Well
Icon for Hire Lyrics

We throw tantrums like parties
We express our emotions and frustrations in an exaggerated manner, like we're at a festivity.

We're not happy 'til everyone knows we're sick
We feel satisfaction only when others acknowledge our suffering and misery.

And that's just how we like it
We have become comfortable with this attention-seeking behavior, as we derive a sense of validation from it.

We've hurt bad enough, right, we've earned it
We believe that our pain and suffering give us a sense of entitlement and a reason to behave recklessly.

Don't tell the others but it's all getting old
We don't want to admit it, but our attention-seeking habits have become boring and unattractive.

I mean how many more times must our stories be told?
We are tired of sharing the same hurtful experiences over and over again. It feels like a never-ending cycle.

And being lonely's only fun in a group
We enjoy being alone only when surrounded by others who feel the same way, as it gives us a sense of belonging.

It sort of loses its charm when it's true
However, the reality of loneliness can be harsh and unpleasant, and it's not as enjoyable as we imagined it to be.

I meant it when I said I wanna get well, I wanna get well
We genuinely want to overcome our issues and illnesses and lead a healthier life.

Are the rest of you so content, stay where you are but it hurts like help
We wonder if others are satisfied with staying in their current state of pain and discomfort, as it feels like a form of self-torture.

And I'm sure it's fun at first, test your pulse and check your vitals
We realize that engaging in these behaviors may initially seem exciting and adventurous, but it can quickly become dangerous and harmful.

If it's only a game you lost me, I quit it with the suicidal recital
If engaging in risky behaviors is just a game and others are not taking it seriously, we are no longer interested in playing along and putting our lives in danger.

So now you know all my secrets
We are no longer hiding our true feelings and emotions from others.

I want out, I know I don't need this
We have realized that we do not want to continue living in this destructive manner and are seeking a way out.

Can you find me friends that don't rank me on what I've been through
We are looking for friends who will accept and support us for who we are, rather than judging us based on our past struggles.

The more battle scars the more attention it gets you
We have noticed that people tend to focus on our past traumas and wounds, which makes us feel like we need to keep reliving them to receive validation and sympathy.

Yeah, we should've known it would end this way
We should have recognized the consequences of our unhealthy behavior and the fact that it would lead to a dead end.

What did you expect, pretend it all away
We cannot simply ignore or pretend that our problems don't exist, as they will eventually catch up to us.

And all we've got left is a sorry pile of hearts
We are left with a sense of regret and sorrow for the attention-seeking behavior and past mistakes that have hurt us and those around us.

I'm getting out, gonna write myself a new start
We are taking responsibility for our actions and are determined to start fresh and make positive changes in our lives.

Come on dry your eyes, meet me on the other side
We are encouraging ourselves and others to move on from the past and focus on the future.

Run as fast as you can and we'll make it out alive
We are determined to overcome our struggles and live a happy and healthy life, and we are willing to work hard to achieve that.

We know better now, we don't have to live like this
We have learned from our mistakes and are ready to make positive changes in our lives, as we know that we do not have to continue living in this destructive manner.

Go tell them all we don't have to live like this
We want others to know that they don't have to continue living in a painful and unhealthy way, and that there is always hope for positive change.
