so, let's reverse the situation

let me be you and you be me

let's say i was always depressed

and you were full of smiles and happy

let's say i was constantly upset

spending days and nights crying

you're trying to be there for me

but you can't help me from dying

let's say i was the one who was cutting

leaving painful reminders, marks, and scars

and when you try to talk me out
i'll build a shield of mental bars
let's say i was blind, to your help and concern
i'd shrug you off, and shut you down
you'd sit and watch me self-destruct
you'll feel so helpless when you're around
let's say i wanted to end my life
cause i couldn't deal with all the pain

i hear you cry, and cry some more

but things are still the same..
so let's return back to the beginning

i'm back to me, and you're back to you

you're hurting, and i'm useless

looking for a happy ending long overdue
