Infected
Misery Loves Co Lyrics

There's something inside of me
I have unresolved feelings or thoughts that are causing me distress.

It tears it all apart
These feelings and thoughts are causing me emotional pain and turmoil.

What I once was can never be
I feel like I have lost a part of myself and the person I used to be is irretrievable.

What you will be I'll never see
I feel like my future is uncertain and I am unable to imagine a positive outcome.

Can't find the strength to erase it
I am struggling to let go of these negative feelings and thoughts, and move on.

As it crushes my will to live
The intensity of these emotions is making me feel hopeless and helpless, and is impacting my desire to keep living.

Don't want you close enough to smell me
I am ashamed of my feelings and thoughts, and am afraid of being judged or rejected by others.

God I wish I had the courage to kill
I am feeling overwhelmed and powerless, and am experiencing violent or self-destructive thoughts.

Always there to beat me down
I feel like there are external forces or people who are constantly causing me to feel worse about myself.

To remind me of who I am
These external forces or people are reinforcing negative beliefs or thoughts that I have about myself.

The one to hold me back
I feel like there is an internal barrier or voice that is stopping me from making positive changes in my life.

When I pretend I'm alive again
I am able to temporarily overcome my negative emotions and put on a facade of happiness or contentment.

Don't want to be the way I am
I am dissatisfied with aspects of myself and want to change.

I'd like to turn around and walk away
I am considering running away from my problems or the negative emotions I am experiencing.

No one can see me now
I am feeling isolated and like I am hiding my true self from others.

Alone with my doubt and fear
I am experiencing feelings of uncertainty or worry, and am doing so in solitude.

I'm so tired of myself
I am becoming exhausted with my own negative thoughts and emotions.

So, if you leave me can I come too?
I am afraid of being abandoned or left behind, and am asking if I can join someone in their journey or life.

Once I tried to listen
I have tried to be open to others' advice or guidance in the past.

But I just could not understand
I was unable to make sense of what others were telling me, or was unable to apply it to my own life.

I'm a stranger to myself
I feel like I am disconnected from myself and my own emotions, and do not understand how they impact my life.

Am I acting strange?
I am unsure if my behavior or feelings are appropriate or normal.

Or just like everyone else?
I am questioning whether others feel the same way or are experiencing similar struggles.

Can't someone help me?
I am looking for assistance or support from others to help me overcome my negative emotions and thoughts.

Can't you see I'm afraid?
I am hoping that others can see my vulnerability and are willing to offer comfort or guidance.

I'm afraid
I am experiencing feelings of fear and uncertainty.
