I’m never at peace,

And that’s the problem

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyo0l35KIO

The weight on my chest,

It never does ease179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL0r2svgIb

All these voices,

All they say is, “What’s wrong with you? Geez.”

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fil6reb3F

All these words

They all feel like a kick in the gut

And they all come with an “I love you, but…”

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuaTfCED7M

But what?

“Disappointment.” I hear

“Never trust you again.”

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO7kQk4Htj

And they don’t blink when I shed a tear

Tear, tear, tear

All I see are tears

When I look in the mirror

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb1sqMGnoW

I’m never at peace

And that’s the problem
