(Opening music)

Verse 1:

I can't handle these pressures

All I can say is, this stress hurts

Things are supposed to get better

I just need to put myself first

I'm always tryin' my hardest

Not to pick myself apart, this

Energy's killin' my vibes now

Sometimes I just wanna drown out

All of the thoughts in my mind, too much

Going on at the same time, I

Wish it would stop and I've tried

But life just sucks then we all die

Pre-chorus:

That's just reality, yeah, don't lie to me

Yeah, I'm fucked up, but I don't wanna be

I wonder if I'm good enough

Or maybe I've just had too much

To drink, to smoke, to swallow

I'm drownin' up my sorrow

There's rules I'll never follow

Pretend there's no tomorrow

I wish there was no tomorrow

Chorus:

But I'm empty inside, yeah, I'm empty inside

And I don't wanna live, but I'm too scared to die

Yeah I'm empty inside, I just don't feel alive

And I don't wanna live, but I'm too scared to die

(Instrumental)

Verse 2:

Wish I could erase my memories

So I could stop feelin' so empty

I wish that shit wasn't so tempting

But it's hard to resist when there's plenty

Of things I could do to fuck me up

I wanna let go, but I'm feelin' so stuck

So all I can do is fill up my cup

And sit here alone hopin' no one disrupts

Pre-chorus:

That's just reality, yeah, don't lie to me

Yeah, I'm fucked up, but I don't wanna be

I wonder if I'm good enough

Or maybe I've had just too much

To drink, to smoke, to swallow

I'm drownin' up my sorrow

There's rules I'll never follow

Pretend there's no tomorrow

I wish there was no tomorrow

Chorus:

But I'm empty inside, yeah, I'm empty inside

And I don't wanna live, but I'm too scared to die

Yeah, I'm empty inside, I just don't feel alive

And I don't wanna live, but I'm too scared to die

(Instrumental)

Bridge:

My body's shakin', my head is achin'

It feels like my heart is breakin'

My body's shakin', my head is achin'

I can't fix this mess I'm makin'

Chorus:

But I'm empty inside, yeah, I'm empty inside

And I don't wanna live, but I'm too scared to die

Yeah, I'm empty inside, I just don't feel alive

And I don't wanna live, but I'm too scared to die
