thank me later

Fake
I can't stretch it enough
don't believe it when I say

I'm okay
'cause

I'm no good

I'm no good

I'm no good

***

and while the darkness grows and swallow I tell you nothing is wrong

I try to stay grounded when I'm hollow and I try to pretend that I belong

I function when I separate and I despair when I laugh with you

every day I paint my picture, and every night I let it subdue

And while picking me apart I can't keep myself from hating

I wish you wouldn't look so deep and I want to start forgetting

I try to throw myself away every time I get the chance to

but since I don't know where I stand I stay no matter what I do

So to save you from revealing I turn cold and start to smile

and if you try to wipe my tears; fuck you, this is how I stay alive
