7 years ago I tried to end it all
I spend most days wishing I had
Got to the point that I didn’t want to call
Because I was afraid it’d make me less sad

Life tricked me countless times
I didn’t want to fall for it again
The phrase “it gets better”
Is now only reserved for my friends

If I knew it’d be this bad
I would’ve tried harder
I saw some darkness
But it’s only got darker

Life feels like a story that should’ve ended
The boy that I was wouldn’t have accepted
Staying alive cost me all of my standards
All of these years have only left me more stranded

“Why on earth do you wish life would end?”
Is that still the question you have in your head?
Spent all of my life trying to live
So maybe it’s true, “nothing is better than this”
