I’ll write for you.
I won't call you selfish
for the pain left behind
I won’t call you a coward
for the hurt you would hide
I know what it’s like
to be stranded in water
too deep to resurface,
too shallow to bother
I know what it’s like
to feel numb and alone
crawling out from the ruins
of all the world’s thrown
I won’t call you selfish
for feeling so trapped
I won’t call you a coward
for the way that you snapped
Under weight, under pressure
it’s time to let go
’cause I know what it’s like
to be screaming below
One step closer to breaking,
dissolving this life
one step closer to leaving
behind every strife
I know what it’s like
to combat all that’s cruel
and I know it was you
who taught me this rule
I know what it’s like
to stand against hate
rise above my afflictions,
wipe clean this old slate
So I won’t call you selfish
or a coward tonight
’cause in the end, the stars
have regained one more light.
