There's a different version of me,
That's going to do everything I've said I will
Be less of a disappointment
He's going to be real good with money
Be proactive and happy
I just haven't gotten round to meeting him yet
And I know (I know)
That I'm losing ground
And I can't make it back
I'm still so fucking sad
And I'm so cold (so cold)
The chilblains in my hands
Are more than I can stand
I lost myself again.
I'm counting hours again
And it makes me feel so selfish
Which only ends up making me feel worse
For feeling this bad with no reason
I'm my mother's child
Her love and disease fill me
And I'm scared that we'll both burst.
And I know (I know)
That I'm losing ground
And I can't make it back
I'm still so fucking sad
And I'm so cold (so cold)
The chilblains in my hands
Are more than I can stand
I lost myself again.
Baby (baby) there's no good way to save me.
