I told you I'd stay
I tried my best to run away
From who I really wanna be
I learned to suppress any questions
Hide what I'm feeling
Pray for a healing
Now I'm learning to breathe again
It's okay to take deep breathes every now and then
Sorry mom and dad
I'm not going back
To those beliefs that treat people like trash
I developed empathy
Now, is that so bad?
I've had to separate myself from your past
I was so sheltered
I was a preacher
I would've kneeled before the altar 'til my knees hurt
I think I'm broken
I think I'm bitter
I know with time I might become a little sweeter
'Cuz I know
Milk and coffee
And I need some sugar
I hate bitterness
I wanna be someone better
Fuck the old me
They can drown in glitter
See-saw balancin'
I'm learning to be better
Oh sweetness, please consume me
Change every atom in my body
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I told you I'd quit
I told you I'm done with it
But the truth is
That I'm not quite sure
Where the old me ends
And the new one begins
I washed the blood off of my hands
But I can't get its taste out of my mouth
Oh, why did I drink it all those years?
And oh, why did you give me all those fears?
I lost my best friend
I lost my lover
And I'm scared that I might never find another
He might've left me
He might've suffered
But I can't control what happened over summer
I know
Milk and coffee
And I need some sugar
I hate bitterness
I wanna be someone better
Fuck the old me
They can drown in glitter
See-saw balancin'
I'm learning to be better
Oh sweetness, please consume me
Change every atom in my body
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
My weakness is inside me
Change all the sour in my body
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
