I’m alright for now
But in an hour I just don’t know how
I’ll be feeling, how I’ll be dealing with stuff
I’m okay today
But I’m worried that tomorrow it’ll go away
And I’m scared I’m not prepared quite enough
Because it’s hard to take good care of yourself
When everybody thinks that you don’t deserve it
It’s fucking hard to take good care of yourself
When everybody else pretends to be perfect
I’m not bad, I’m flawed
I’m a human, hate to spoil the facade
I can bleed, let’s not be so severe
I’ll survive, I hope
I think, I don’t know, I’m just trying to cope
With depression, with the stress and the fear
Because it’s hard to take good care of yourself
When everybody thinks that you don’t deserve it
It’s fucking hard to take good care of yourself
When everybody else pretends to be perfect
And they won’t say it to my face, but they wish that I was dead
We’ll just agree to disagree, I’d rather be alive instead
It’s hard to take care of yourself, but I’ve got help with my health
And as for everybody else, I wish you fuckers well
