liar
midwxst Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need your help 'cause my situation's dire
I'm so tired, not a fighter
I'm a liar and that's it
I'm slowly losing all my friends
I feel like I'm a means to an end
This pain begins but never ends
I can't open up, don't know where I should begin
I'm letting out all my dreams and thoughts in a tissue
I'm fighting through my lows, I don't know if I'll get through
I'm sick and fucking tired of trying, I won't pull through
I'm too far gone, I know I won't recover
I mess up everything in one way or another
I know that I'm in love but she'll find someone better
The blood from my wrist starts to sink in my sweater
I'm standing in the rain, fell in love with the weather
My feelings are restricted, it's bound with a tether
My body and my mind are two things stuck together
I'm just hoping at this point that it gets better
Don't say, I'm okay 'cause I just disagree
You always act like you know me
You say that we're friends, don't check up on me
And now I can see why I feel alone
Got no one to text or to call up my phone
I hide how I feel, never let a bit show
I don't want help, I can suffer alone
