It follows me wherever I go, that voice in my mind that says I am alone

I try so hard not to succumb, but before I can stop, I lose all control

I know I’m not supposed to feel like this

I turn down every road looking for the fix desperate to get

The state of mind it seems like everyone else has

To feel happiness again, is that so much to ask for?

It’s so hard to ignore when the positive thoughts rarely outweigh the negative

And living seems worse than the alternative

Is there any way to restore the person I was before?

I’ve been here once or twice, hoping each instance is the last time

It’s hard to bring myself through even though everyone gives love and advice

But I’m determined that it won’t return

I’ll have a permanent grasp on what I deserve and know I prefer

The state of mind it seems like everyone else has

To feel happiness again, is that so much to ask for?

It’s so hard to ignore when the positive thoughts rarely outweigh the negative

And living seems worse than the alternative

Is there any way to restore the person I was before

Any of this started and I didn’t feel broken-hearted all the time

Why can’t I find

The state of mind it seems like everyone else has?

To feel happiness again, is that so much to ask for?

It’s so hard to ignore when the positive thoughts rarely outweigh the negative

And living seems worse than the alternative

Is there any way to restore the person I was before?
