lyrics

"Put down my mirrors just for you
I cannot look at myself
I cannot look at myself
And afterall, those demons grew
I cannot stand myself
I cannot stand myself

Threw me on the kitchen floor
And hit me harder than before
I'm healing
I'm healing
And if the bruises tell the truth
I better watch my every move
I'm healing
I'm healing, too

It hurts to realize there’s been more like you
But people are hard on themselves
People are hard on themselves
Eating the lies, and relying on another fool
Are people aware of themselves?
Are people aware of themselves?

Pulled me back, and once again
There’s nothing coming slower than
The healing
I’m healing
And if the bruises tell the truth
I better watch my every move
I'm healing
I'm healing, too

But I’m never falling down again, again
I’m healing, too"
