Lately it seems like even all my ups are getting lower And when the downs come back around it still feels out of nowhere I've tried to love myself for long enough to know I don't Did all the bullshit "self-care" and still always felt alone The mirror and the magazines have always seen the bad in me And I don't cry myself to sleep but sometimes it gets hard to breathe Blame it on anxiety, the drugs, or just society but Either way it's hard to be, or not be I don't feel very lovable But I know that you still love me though You're the best thing that I've ever known And you still want me, guess you're messed up after all But you should know I'm sick and never getting well So, if you still want a piece of me Help yourself, help yourself Whoa oh oh oh Help yourself, help yourself Whoa oh oh oh I don't know how it happened, I guess something in me's broke Maybe I wasn't meant for this world mostly I think it's a joke People who try to help me end up tired and confused And I know I'd hate me even more if I did that to you And I don't want to I don't feel very lovable But I know that you still love me though You're the best thing that I've ever known And you still want me, guess you're messed up after all But you should know I'm sick and never getting well So, if you still want a piece of me Help yourself, help yourself Whoa oh oh oh Help yourself, help yourself Whoa oh oh oh It's not like I haven't tried to be less cynical What am I supposed to do with all the things I know I won't pretend it's alright when the whole world's gone insane I know I'm not the crazy one no I won't be ashamed Sorry if it makes you uncomfortable I hope you know how much I love you though You're the best thing that I've ever known And you still want me, guess you're fucked up after all But you should know I'm sick and never getting well So, if you still want a piece of me Then you need therapy If you still want a piece of me Help yourself, help yourself Whoa oh oh oh Help yourself, help yourself Whoa oh oh oh
