Lyrics
Days without eating
Refers to going days without eating
Days without sleeping
Describes experiencing days without sleep
Days without speaking
Highlights days without speaking or communication
The nights are the hardest
Emphasizes that nights are the most challenging times
When the voices are the loudest
Indicates that during these challenging times, the internal voices or thoughts become louder
Days without eating
Reiterates the experience of going days without eating
Days without sleeping
Repeats the experience of enduring days without sleep
Days without speaking
Reiterates the experience of days without speaking or communication
Don't tell me it's 'okay to not be okay'
Rejects the idea that it's fine not to be okay and expresses frustration when others react negatively to personal expression
then wince at everything I say
Expresses discomfort or frustration when others react negatively to personal disclosure
Don't act like a confidant
Warns against pretending to be a supportive listener if impatience and patronizing behavior follow
if you're just going to get impatient
Conveys disappointment if someone pretends to listen but lacks patience and understanding
and make patronizing suggestions
Reflects frustration with patronizing advice or suggestions
It's not my life that's the problem
States that the problem lies within oneself, not the circumstances
It's me.
Accepts responsibility for personal struggles
Days without eating
Reiterates the experience of going days without eating
Days without sleeping
Repeats the experience of enduring days without sleep
Days without speaking
Reiterates the experience of days without speaking or communication
If I could fix it like a broken limb, I would.
Expresses a wish to fix mental health struggles as easily as physical injuries
If I could stop these thoughts and start again, I would.
Expresses a desire to stop negative thoughts and start anew
I would leap at the chance
Expresses a willingness to seize the opportunity to change if it existed
But the chance: it does not exist
Conveys the absence of an opportunity or solution to some mental health struggles
Some illnesses they just have no fix.
Acknowledges that certain mental illnesses may not have a definitive remedy
Listen to someone without judgment.
Advocates for listening to someone without passing judgment
