help yourself Lyrics

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
