My whole life I always felt like
I just needed my own space
my thoughts were cluttered with your yelling
I should have seen it in the first place
I just needed time to get my head straight
When people ask me how I\'m doing, \"Yes, I\'m Ok\"
that\'s what you\'re supposed to say..
I wish I could have conversations with the old me
I wish somebody would have told me
You don\'t have to go through their pain
your road is different you\'ll be OK.
Block your ears what they\'re saying isn\'t real
rest your eyes
the exhaustion will make you think unclear
take some time get your head straight
You don\'t have to carry their weight
I wish I could have conversations with the old me
I wish somebody would have told me
Keep working late, it will be worth it one day
you don\'t have to be home, they can eat on their own
you\'re not their fucking mother anyway.
Catch your breath
find your head space
Trust yourself you\'re going to be ok
You\'re allowed to want to be alone
you\'re allowed to tell them no..
In the morning they\'ll pretend to atone
but when someone asks you how you\'re doing
you don\'t have to pretend to be OK.
I wish I could have conversations with the old me
I wish somebody would have told me..
