I wrote this song when I was 14 to process my feelings about mental struggles. I took it down KZread for ages because I felt like my singing and songwriting had improved, but I think this is the most honest way to share this song. With past 14 year-old me performing it. Enjoy :)
Light you out
Lyrics:
You stare at yourself in the mirror,
Look at your reflection, but it means nothing,
You listen to those voices in your head,
You think they’re trying to help, but there trying to hurt you.
You hide those emotions inside,
they tear you down, into nothing,
You try to make things right,
Although inside, you cry...
But the things you hear will only burn you out,
Those thoughts you hear will only tear you down,
And you’re worth more than they give you, more than you know,
Less of the doubt, more of the hope,
Those thoughts will only light you out, light you out.
You arrive back home after a long day,
Those opinions, didn’t help you,
You blame yourself for nothing,
You think it will numb the pain, but it doesn’t, it still hurts.
But the things you hear will only burn you out,
Those thoughts you hear will only tear you down,
And you’re worth more than they give you, more than you know,
Less of the doubt, more of the hope,
Those thoughts will only, light you out (x4)
Know your worth ignore that doubt (x4)
But the things you hear will only burn you out,
Those thoughts you hear will only tear you down,
And you’re worth more than they give you, more than you know,
Less of the doubt, more of the hope,
Those thoughts will only light you out,
Don’t let them light you out.
Thank you for listening, enjoy :)
