Lyrics
You don't know who you are Until you hate yourself Until you've crashed and burned And lost your fight And everybody says they know better, better And everybody says they know better And maybe they're right You turn to poison pills so you can numb yourself The refill never comes too soon And everyone will tell you: you're better, better They beg and cry and swear that you're better Than you Than you I've climbed a million mountains But I can't reach the top I swear to god that any moment I can stop So it's just a single vice to help me stay awake I don't know how much more I can take Before the breakdown Before I lose my mind forever I can't cry forever I won't cry Before the breakdown Before there's nothing left but crazy Someone try to save me Try Try It's just a single vice To get me through the day I swear to god that I could throw it all away so! I'll pour the bottle out And be myself again That hopeless loser girl that no one understands No one understands No one under- No one understands Before the breakdown Before I spiral slowly, screaming Wake me up I'm dreaming Get me through the night Before the breakdown Before I can't breathe Shrieking Choking Tell me it's a joke and This can't be my life And everyone will tell you: you're better, better They beg and plead and scream that you're better, better But you could never ever be better than you Cause you're the score you got on SATs A number on a scale You are birth control And alcohol And every test you failed You are all the teams you never made And all the games you never played Parents you mistreated And every time you were defeated And every breakdown Every person who forgets you Every friend that left you Nowhere else to go Before the breakdown If you keep running, you'll escape it One day you might make it Far away from home And every broken bone and scar Won't define just who you are Someday you'll grow up just like you should Before the breakdown breaks you for good Before the breakdown Breaks you for good
