Lyrics

Every night, before I close my eyes

Expressing a nightly routine of reflection and seeking mercy before sleep.

I say a little prayer that you'll have mercy on me

Praying for mercy, a plea for compassion or forgiveness from an unspecified entity.

Please dear God, to live inside the divine

Desiring to live within a divine existence, contrasting with thoughts of death.

Not like I want to die

Clarifying that the desire for a divine life is not a desire for death.

Teach me to forgive myself

Seeking guidance on self-forgiveness, acknowledging the need to overcome personal struggles.

Outlive this hell

Expressing a desire to outlive a challenging or painful situation.


Is it really love if it hurts?

Questioning the nature of love when it involves pain.

Is it really pain if it's inside?

Questioning whether internal pain is truly pain when not visible externally.

On the outside, I'm strong

Projecting strength externally while internally dealing with pain.

Hold my hand, please sympathize

Seeking empathy and understanding by asking for a comforting presence.

Hard enough tryna forgive

Expressing the difficulty of forgiving others.

Hard 'nough tryna live

Acknowledging the challenges of simply trying to live.

Please don't criticize, yeah

Please, please sympathize, yeah

Somebody to teach me to love

Can you tell the truth when you live lies?
