Is life worth?

 I simply can't smile like I'm still me

I can't fake it

 I couldn't try to be all I can anymore

but that’s not good enough for them

I can’t take this pressure anymore

Fake smile on my face

I'm so afraid to be alone again.

Life is hard when you’re dead inside

They're crucifying me because I'm talking differently

 Who's the fuck to judge?

You know my story

but you’ll never know my pain

Like everyone else I can breathe

 but I still don't feel alive

I know I lost myself

 I was too afraid to fade away
