Safety Plan - 4-2-6 Lyrics

I used to just get by and I thought that was enough
The days were long and lonely but at least I lived them
But at some point getting by became way too rough
The years blended together and I became so numb

And now all I want is a life better than what I had
A life that won't go out of its way to make me feel sad
I don't think that's much to ask

You tell me to fight off all the thoughts that keep me weighed down
But they're all I've known and I'm so afraid of being lonely
I've relied on others to pull me out when I drown
But now I'm alone so I'll have to be my one and only

And now all I want is a love better than what I had
A love that won't go out of its way to make me look bad
I don't think that's much to ask

Help, it's all starting to decay
I knew I couldn't keep it together
No, I won't let it fade away
I'm going to make this last forever
