InMe - Trauma: Door Slam Crescendo lyrics

I tried to be someone
Scorched feathers upon the sun
I tried to pretend this here world was
Not painful or real at all

I tried to be like you
Hide away from the cold harsh truth
Cracked reflections of the hero &
The heroine I once knew

I know it's hard, I know it's real
But now I have become someone
That you could never heal

And I tried like you never
You left me to teach myself
And I cried & swallowed my tears
Salty exhausted fears
I tried to teach myself but
I couldn't unlock my cell
I tried to douse the ice & fire, to melt
To quell this frozen hell

And I lied to protect you both
& I still suffer to help
And my scars still tear open
Even after all these years

And I tried like you never
You pushed me to the edge

I tried to help myself but
I really need your help
I tried to be someone that you
Could both be proud of be proud of me
