Something else to believe in

I don't know what do
She's rising like water
But she needs some real help
She needs her mother
And at a painfully young age
She picked up bad habits
She decided to stop eating
Just like her mom did

Staring at my face in the mirror
Too long that I'm someone else
I've got bruises from fighting
But words are the worst thing ive ever felt

I'll live in black and white
But I won't live in blue
It must be hard living
If the reason I'm living is you
You

She has skills but they come
From the wrong reasons
It's cause the more that you practise
Is the more you repeat it
For me I can manipulate words and
Move them around like liquid
I can paint all my feelings
With sentences wild and vivid

It's funny how something that makes you so happy
Can hurt you so badly
How the hell is she supposed to heal
When she doesn't have her family?

I'll live in black and white
But I won't live in blue
It must be hard living
If the reason I'm living is you
You

I don't get excited when you love me cause I can tell
That you saying you love me is your cry for help
I buried these seeds and I watch them grow
She needs me to stay but i need to let go

She's got so many voices in her head
And they don't go away
But she has learnt how to quiet them
With a different kind of pain
She looks like a fire
She's dying and leaving
Me behind to find
Something else to believe in
