Lyrics

What if I stopped

Contemplating the idea of stopping a facade

Pretending that I would not care

Acknowledging a lack of concern

That they're having fun right now while

Noting others' enjoyment while feeling isolated

I'm just sitting here

Expressing loneliness and inactivity

Wish that I could have a friend

Desiring a genuine friend

With whom I'm not afraid to spend

Seeking companionship without fear

Some time and

Wishing to spend time with someone

Leave this world behind

Yearning to escape the current situation

Dear Bully, you can break my brain apart

Addressing a bully and potential harm to mental well-being

Wish I had ended it at the start

Regretting not ending something earlier

Anxiety knocked him out of my life

Anxiety affecting relationships

And I'm afraid not to survive

Fearing the consequences of not surviving

I imagined us

Imagining a positive future with the bully

Up in the sky

Metaphorically envisioning an elevated state

But behind each promise is a lie

Recognizing deception behind promises

Why can't I stop

Questioning difficulty in maintaining love

Turning love to awkward smiles

Reflecting on turning love into awkwardness

But why am I complaining I should

Acknowledging complaints but considering enjoyment

Just enjoy my life

Suggesting the transient nature of life

It's like a painting in the rain

Comparing life to a painting in the rain

Dry it, but it never looks the same

Expressing the difficulty of restoring something lost

Again and

Emphasizing the permanence of certain situations

You can't make a change

Highlighting the challenge of making a change

Dear Bully, you can break my brain apart

Reiterating the impact of bullying on mental well-being

At least that would ease the pain for my heart

Expressing a desire for relief through mental break

Anxiety knocked him out of my life

Linking anxiety to the fear of not surviving

I wish that I could just survive

Expressing a longing for survival

And the best years of my life

Reflecting on the passage of time

Look how they've been spent

Regretting how the best years were spent

I've had chances for my dreams

Noting missed opportunities for dreams

But I just wasted them

Admitting to wasting chances

Dear Bully, please just break my brain apart

Pleading for a break from mental distress

Why did I ever fall for love?

Questioning the choice to fall in love

By myself, I knocked them all out of my life

Accepting responsibility for relationships lost

And maybe I do not want to survive

Expressing a lack of desire to survive

So, now I can see

Gaining clarity on friends leaving

Why all my friends leave

Attributing departures to perceived inadequacy

Cause there's always someone better than me

Recognizing the presence of perceived competition
