Can't Take It
PH-7 Lyrics

I'm writing the same songs over again
I feel like my life is on repeat, and I'm stuck in the same cycle.

I've been feeling the same way but I'll just pretend
I don't want to burden anyone with my problems, so I put on a facade to hide how I really feel.

That I'm okay but I won't say that
Even though I'm hurting, I don't want to admit it to myself or anyone else.

Maybe someone will notice maybe I'd like that
I crave someone to reach out and help me, even though I won't ask for it.

I just need some help
I'm struggling with my mental health and need assistance to get through this.

Will somebody come save me
I feel alone and helpless, and need someone to intervene and help me out of this dark place.

I'm livin' in hell
I feel trapped and like there's no escape from my own mind.

And I want death to take me
The pain I feel emotionally is so unbearable that death seems like the only way to end it.

Away from all I've known
I'm tired of the familiar pain that I experience on a daily basis, and want to escape it all.

And maybe then I'd feel at home
My current state of mind is so uncomfortable that the only way I'd feel at peace is if I were no longer alive.

The battlefield of my heart has a civil war on
My emotions are fighting against each other, and it's a war that I can't seem to win.

So even if it wins it loses
No matter which side of my emotions 'wins' in the moment, I ultimately end up feeling defeated.

And I can't take the scrapes and bruises
The pain and hurt that I experience emotionally is too much for me to handle.

On one side
One aspect of my emotions and thoughts is causing me to consider ending my own life.

You got me takin' my life
The idea of suicide is constantly present and tempting me, even though I know it's not the right choice.

The winning is that I won't feel no pain
The 'winning' aspect of suicide is that I won't have to feel the emotional pain that I'm currently experiencing anymore.

But the losing is the pain that others would gain
The 'losing' aspect of suicide is that it would only cause pain and hurt to those who love and care about me.

And on the other
The other aspect of my emotions is trying to hold on and recover from this dark place, even though it feels impossible.

If I try to recover from this smothering sting that seems to fill my brain
I'm trying to heal from the deep emotional pain that feels suffocating and all-consuming in my mind.

Then I won't even care about anything at all
The emotional pain is so intense that the idea of caring about anything else feels impossible.

And I can't take it
The emotional pain and turmoil that I'm experiencing is too much for me to handle.

I don't think that I'll make it
I'm afraid that I won't be able to overcome this struggle and that it might be the end of me.

No no
I'm desperate for hope and help, and don't want to be left alone with my pain.

And I can't take it
The emotional pain and turmoil that I'm experiencing is too much for me to handle.

I don't think that I'll make it
I'm afraid that I won't be able to overcome this struggle and that it might be the end of me.

No no
I'm desperate for hope and help, and don't want to be left alone with my pain.
