I Don't Wanna Be Here Lyrics

I've got scars because life cuts deep

The only way they'll heal is if I fall asleep

And I'm tryin to but my mind's spinning, stomach's dropping

There's a monster inside of me not in my closet

So, I sit alone. Mostly in silence

These voices I've known have told me be quiet

I'm all on my own. If only I could whisper in your ear

The important words I'd want you to hear is

Take it away: all of this pain

I repeatedly lose. Feel like there's nothing to gain

Give me a dream. Open my eyes

I just wanna live. I'm trying to fight

But I don't wanna be here

I've always wondered what it's like to be free

Sadly, all I know is what it's like to be me

But I'm okay. Someday, I'll escape from out this cage

But that doesn't mean right now I'm not afraid

Oh, I've cried so softly that no one's ever known

Wishing that these feelings matched the faces that I've shown, you hear me

There's gotta be a reason I'm alive

Could someone please just tell me why and

Take it away: all of this pain

I repeatedly lose. Feel like there's nothing to gain

Give me a dream. Open my eyes

I just wanna live. I'm trying to fight

But I don't wanna be here
