I Will Survive

Me and myself may leave, but I Will Never Give Up

you said you know me

that you know what i love

what i hate

that you know

i love talking

that i love parties

that i love concerts

you told me

that i hate rain

that i hate silence

that i hate being alone

but youve got it all wrong

you said you know me

and maybe you do

maybe you know ‘me’

but ive lost ‘myself’

while ‘i’ am still trying

me,

myself,

and i

the greatest family

i could ever have

better than being forgotten

at least

and so

every night

i must remind myself

that its all fake

i must cry myself to sleep

so i never go numb

i must torture myself

with work

ive lost myself

and now ive lost me too

cuz if you really know me

then i mustve forgotten

i must take your word for it

if you say it

it must be true

and so now

i

must

keep

holding

on

when will gravity

give up

and let me live

let me breathe

i

will

never

let

go

myself and me

may leave

but i will stay

breathing the acid

and living

through the war

i

will
