Lately it seems like even all my ups are getting lower
And when the downs come back around it still feels out of nowhere
I've tried to love myself for long enough to know I don't
Did all the bullshit "self-care" and still always felt alone
The mirror and the magazines have always seen the bad in me
And I don't cry myself to sleep but sometimes it gets hard to breathe
Blame it on anxiety, the drugs, or just society but
Either way it's hard to be, or not be
I don't feel very lovable
But I know that you still love me though
You're the best thing that I've ever known
And you still want me, guess you're messed up after all
But you should know I'm sick and never getting well
So, if you still want a piece of me
Help yourself, help yourself
Whoa oh oh oh
Help yourself, help yourself
Whoa oh oh oh
I don't know how it happened, I guess something in me's broke
Maybe I wasn't meant for this world mostly I think it's a joke
People who try to help me end up tired and confused
And I know I'd hate me even more if I did that to you
And I don't want to
I don't feel very lovable
But I know that you still love me though
You're the best thing that I've ever known
And you still want me, guess you're messed up after all
But you should know I'm sick and never getting well
So, if you still want a piece of me
Help yourself, help yourself
Whoa oh oh oh
Help yourself, help yourself
Whoa oh oh oh
It's not like I haven't tried to be less cynical
What am I supposed to do with all the things I know
I won't pretend it's alright when the whole world's gone insane
I know I'm not the crazy one no I won't be ashamed
Sorry if it makes you uncomfortable
I hope you know how much I love you though
You're the best thing that I've ever known
And you still want me, guess you're fucked up after all
But you should know I'm sick and never getting well
So, if you still want a piece of me
Then you need therapy
If you still want a piece of me
Help yourself, help yourself
Whoa oh oh oh
Help yourself, help yourself
Whoa oh oh oh
