Gabbie Hanna - Thank You, for Being Alive lyrics
[Gabbie Hanna - Thank You, for Being Alive lyrics]
Thank you, for being alive
When every day you feel yourself dying inside
Thank you, for not staying asleep
And from the moment that you wake up
You can barely breathe
Thank you, for not saying goodbye
When you think about how peaceful
It could feel to die
Thank you, even though you lie
When they ask if you're okay, but still
Ignore the signs
And you, say you are doing just fine
Even though you could measure
The amount of mental decline
And you, pray you can get through the day
You're just running down the clock
'Till you can finally silently slip away
Into your temporary coma
Fantasize of when you close your eyes
This time that it's forever, oh
Lucky you to every single person
Who can sleep without the silent demon
Screaming to you his suicidal schemes
Fuck you, to every single person
That's on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram
Who stays steady posting to:
"Reach out if you need a friend"
With your thoughts of prayers
Fake care, play pretend, and you back out
'Cause you don't really want it
'Cause if someone really needs you
Well you won't even touch it, Nah
Let alone, reach back, get back
Listen to the heart
Through the stifle cracks and voice cracks
Dial tone, you're not really interested
The difference is your empathy
Is only for appearances
You had to? Oh, it's trending now?
To give a shit about how I'm feeling now?
Where were you when I needed you?
Trying to survive, I was a ghost to you
And I shared with you I was defeated due
To the circumstances worse not
Being close to you
And I remember you, you preceded to
Prove time to time to give
What mattered most to you and it wasn't me
I hate to burden you
Sometimes I still wonder if
I should follow through?
But then I, remember I
I've been here before
This prison isn't foreign to me anymore
That's right, I've been here before
This prison isn't foreign to me anymore
I've been here before
This prison isn't foreign to me anymore
My God, I've been here before!
This prison isn't foreign to me anymore
I've been here before
I've been here before
I've been here before
But I've escaped before
I've been here before
I've been here before
The shackles of my past tremble to the floor
I've been here before
I've been here before
I've been here before
I've been here before
I've been here before
But I've escaped before
This prison won't keep me captive anymore
Thank you
When every day you feel yourself dying inside
