As We Once Were - Okay lyrics

Lift your head up, stop looking through the clouds I was always told that self loathing is not allowed I can't see straight, not any more than you can But I still have this sticker on my head that says "I'm the kid with all the issues" And when I see myself five years from now I'd like to think that I won't still be down Until then, I'm left bearing this weight The rooms walls keep caving in, as my mind fights off decay I can't think about anything else other than Wanting to break this chain link fence all around myself I wish that I could hate you as as much As I hate the feel of my own empty shell Why can't you see me for me? Why can't I let myself be okay Why can't you see me for me? I think I'm finally starting to feel okay Is this what you wanted? A deer in the headlights with nowhere to run away Is this what you wanted? I think I'm finally starting to feel okay
