Ibuprofen

I'm crying on the floor, rocking back and forth
And Rob is crying too, just like the night before
And Verity is holding me so tightly
Saying, "You cannot give up" and she's crying slightly

And Russ walks over, crying as well
'Cause he heard me shout how much I hate myself
He said, "No, not you, no, not you
You make us all so happy, you know that, don't you?"

I'm so emotional, I felt unlovable
But they love me so dearly, I must just be wrong

'Cause they keep me, keep me safe
Keep me safe, keep me safe
K-k-k-keep me, keep me safe
Stuck within this maze encompassing my brain

Still feel ripples from stones thrown, didn't just disturb the surface
Now everyone around me shows me I have a purpose
To love and be loved, show others they ain't worthless
I can love myself, I just need to learn it

I continue to unpick my tragic disposition
Can I be authentically happy? No need for these incisions
No need for a lobotomy when the brain's just working
I am hurtin', I am hurtin', could you be my ibuprofen?

I'm so emotional, I felt unlovable
But they love me so dearly, I must just be wrong

Keep me, keep me safe
Stuck within this maze encompassing my brain
Keep me, keep me safe
Keep me safe, keep me safe
K-k-k-keep me, keep me safe
Stuck within this maze encompassing my brain

A picture of Ben smiling so sweetly
Didn't know I took a photo when he looked up to see me
There's a picture of Ben smiling so sweetly
Didn't know I took a photo, he just looked up to see me

'Cause they keep me, keep me safe
Keep me safe, keep me safe
K-k-k-keep me, keep me safe
Stuck within this maze encompassing my brain

So I'll bring the ink, and I'll stand in the sink (keep me, keep me safe)
And you can tattoo my eyeballs bright pink (keep me safe, keep me safe)
And I'll bring the ink, and I'll stand in the sink (and you can keep me, keep me safe)
And you can tattoo my eyeballs bright pink (keep me safe, keep me safe)

And you can keep me, keep me safe
Keep me safe, keep me safe
K-k-k-keep me, keep me safe
Stuck within this maze encompassing my brain

Keep me, keep me safe
Keep me safe, keep me safe
Keep me, keep me safe
