Rescue Mission
Lyrics from my song "Rescue Mission"
You said you wished I was prettier
So I got mad at pretty girls
You said you wished I was skinnier
So I worked out even more
Then you said there's not
Much to grab onto in the front
So I cut myself open
And paid a doctor way too much
And now I'm feeling empty
I'm feeling so sad
And I don't know
Who I even am
Cause I spent four whole years
Holding my breath
Trying t o squeeze into
Whoever you wanted me to be
Now that I left
And I'm finally free
I'm on a rescue mission to find me
I'm on a rescue mission to find me
Stay up all night
Searching through the woods
For a girl gone missing
And digging up dirt
While you're smiling at my vigil
Passing 'round candles
Making plan for a funeral
But don't you dare speak so soon
Cause I'm getting closer
I can hear her cries
You said I wouldn't live without you
You said I'd never survive
Well, surprise surprise
Despite it all darling I'm still alive
And I won't waste one more year
Holding my breath
Trying to squeeze into someone else
That's not me
Now that I left
And I'm finally free
I'm on a rescue mission to find me
I'm on a rescue mission to find me
I once was lost
But Now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
