Lessening

I never felt the need to hate
The way I looked or the things I ate
Till they told me I was wrong
And they'd fix me

I hit the floor, still wanting more
A t-shirt promised so much more
Until I found that I killed myself
For nothing

I wish I believed you the way that I used to
I wish I believed you, cause I can't do it on my own
I wish I believed you the way that I used to
I wish I believed you, cause I'm so scared when I'm alone

I think I lost a part of me
Bathed in flames eternally
Purged of mediocrity
So they told me

I tore myself, one into two
Loving different parts of you
Comfort in believing contradiction

I wish I believed you the way that I used to
I wish I believed you, cause I can't do it on my own
I wish I believed you the way that I used to
I wish I believed you, cause I'm so scared when I'm alone
