Say you need a break
Time away from me
A chance to focus on yourself
Let your mind be free
Everyday I understand
That I am hard to bear
Stuck in my pyjamas
Or in the bed upstairs
I try to be more fun
Scrape it from my bones
Play the girlfriend puppet
Made of sticks and stones
She cannot last for long
She always falls apart
Running through your fingers
You see she has no heart
The real me reaches out
But it’s like she has no hands
Nothing to grab hold of you
To help you understand
Because you are not in my head
You cannot hear the voices
Every day’s a battleground
I make a thousand choices
All of them are made for us
I choose to stay and fight
And though I lay down all the while
I use up all my might
I know I am a drain
So wrapped up in myself
Selfish and unable
To focus on your health
I’m not the me I thought I was
I wanted to be giving
Now I understand I’m not
All I am- is living
I wish I was like you
Could take a break from me
But I am stuck inside myself
Desperate to be free
