I’m never at peace,

And that’s the problem

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPcPkB7pLn

The weight on my chest,

It never does ease56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPUfuy7Tps

All these voices,

All they say is, “What’s wrong with you? Geez.”

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWuM9hZoYh

All these words

They all feel like a kick in the gut

And they all come with an “I love you, but…”

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFJTVrmeiU

But what?

“Disappointment.” I hear

“Never trust you again.”

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh86lVl9WBF

And they don’t blink when I shed a tear

Tear, tear, tear

All I see are tears

When I look in the mirror

56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2UEmnp2Bt

I’m never at peace

And that’s the problem
