Broken

I used to be the beacon
A light in the dark
Look to me for happiness
You'll find where you are
Somewhere along the way
I've lost my direction
I'm wearing a mask now
Aware of my reflection
I make-believe I'm happy
Cuz that's what I want
I can't seem to find it
So I put up a front
They say dress for the job you want
I put on a smile
Act like nothing's wrong
But I know it's been a while
Everything is fucked up
It's only getting worse
And the feeling is expanding
Like the universe
I can never put it back together
The pieces seem to die
And just like the stars
There's delay in the time, so
When you see a shooting star
Don't think about a wish
That just means it's darker
Wherever that star is
And somewhere out in space
Well they just lost a morning
Their only light in life
Disappeared without a warning

I was broken before you met me
You didn't know so don't take
Don't take it personally
Don't take it personally
Something is wrong with me
You didn't know so don't take
Don't take it personally
Don't take it personally

I've been isolating by myself
For over 4 years
And the last 3
I've kept my phone on silent for my peers
I don't answer phone calls
And I'm not returning texts
What could I say to them
I don't know what's next
I'm not gonna hurt myself
But I'm hurting deep within
So what could I tell you
When I don't know what it is
I deleted all my socials
Now I'm feeling overwhelmed
I gotta get this out
If I'm ever gonna get well

If I cut myself open
And reveal what's inside
I hope you play on repeat
And it starts burning your eyes
I'll pull the smile on my face
So you can see my disguise
I was already broken
Long before you and i

I was broken before you met me
You didn't know so don't take
Don't take it personally
Don't take it personally
Something is wrong with me
You didn't know so don't take
Don't take it personally
Don't take it personally

I was broken before you met me
You didn't know so don't take
Don't take it personally
Don't take it personally
Something is wrong with me
You didn't know so don't take
Don't take it personally
Don't take it personally
