Lyrics

I was getting tired of a hurting heart

Feeling tired of emotional pain

Crying to sleep wasn't getting far

Unsuccessful attempts to find solace through sleep

So I decided to write some songs

Turning to songwriting as a coping mechanism

I don't know why I thought life would be easy

Expressing confusion about the expectation of an easy life

Not sure why she tries so hard to please me

Questioning why someone makes an effort to please

When we both know that I belong in hell

Acknowledging a sense of deserving negative consequences

I've never been one to admit when I'm wrong

Admitting difficulty in acknowledging personal mistakes

I never thought I'd be writing sad songs

Surprised by the unexpected act of writing sad songs

And here I am, doing it all at once

Reflecting on the suddenness of engaging in songwriting

My friends told me I couldn't sing

Recalling discouragement from friends about singing ability

Well, look at them and then listen to me

Defending musical talent despite others' opinions

Damn

Expressing frustration or resignation

I guess they were kind of right

Admitting some truth in friends' criticism

I don't wanna feel this way

Rejecting the desire to feel a certain negative way

Alone, afraid, not wanting to be alive

Describing feelings of loneliness, fear, and a desire to avoid life

And if I had it my way, I'd see

Expressing a wish for significant life changes

Just a really big change in my life

Longing for a positive transformation in life

Tried so hard to get what I needed

Struggling to meet personal needs despite efforts

Still ended up crying on my knees

Experiencing emotional pain despite attempts to fulfill needs

And if God is here, why can't I see Him

Questioning the presence of God in times of distress

Thank you for listening to this

Expressing gratitude for the audience's attention

Already doing more than my friends

Feeling that sharing through music surpasses friends' support

I hide my face because I'm so afraid of them

Concealing oneself due to fear of judgment

I don't wanna feel this way

Reiterating the rejection of negative emotions

Alone, afraid, not wanting to be alive

Repeating feelings of loneliness, fear, and a desire to avoid life

And if I had it my way, I'd see

Reiterating a wish for significant life changes

Just a really big change in my life

Repeating the longing for positive transformation in life
