[Verse 1]
Feels like fighting to the death
Just to get up out of bed
When your very best is see through
And nobody knows the real you
Motivation's just a ghost
Every day's an all-time low
'Cause they'd rather sugarcoat you
Than take a single step in those shoes
[Pre-Chorus]
So if no one understands you
And no one's got a clue
And no one gives a damn
About what you're going through
Never listen to the blind
'Cause they'll never see the times
When
[Chorus]
You lived when you wanted to die
You tried when you wanted to cry
When you had no one there to show you love
And kept getting up when
You were so sick of saving yourself
And no one cared you were going through hell
I hope you hear this song and know it's proof
Somebody's proud of you
Oh
Somebody's proud of you
[Verse 2]
Validation's never been
An acquaintance much less friend
And empathy is just a stranger
That lives in the basement with your anger
You still twist that tongue in knots
While they misconstrue your thoughts
Overexplain the things behind you
Or else you know they'll demonize you
[Pre-Chorus]
So if no one understands you
And no one's got a clue
You win some and you lose most
Baby, that's the truth
Never waste your time on them
'Cause they'll never comprehend
How
[Chorus]
You lived when you wanted to die
You tried when you wanted to cry
When you had no one there to show you love
And kept getting up when
You were so sick of saving yourself
And no one cared you were going through hell
I hope you hear this song and know it's proof
[Bridge]
All the times your friends don't ever show
And your parents say it's overblown
Theyβll dig your six foot holes
Use them as space to grow
All the times they only see your flaws
And give you reasons for more camouflage
Just put your fingers up
You'll live to call their bluff
You don't need to prove a damn thing
You decided you're enough
When
[Chorus]
You lived when you wanted to die
You tried when you wanted to cry
When you had no one there to show you love
And kept getting up when
You were so sick of saving yourself
And no one cared you were going through hell
I hope you hear this song and know it's proof
Somebody's proud of you
Oh
Somebody's proud of you
