What Do You Have To Say For Yourself?
a song & a plea to my undiagnosed chronic pain.
Verse 1:
Do you have something to say?
It must be important because you won't go away
Could you at least tell me your name,
And how long to plan to stay?
Because I don't feel like myself when you're around
I've learned my lesson,
or I guess I thought I had by now
Chorus:
Do you want me to be thankful?
Do you want me to be patient?
Do you want me to say sorry
for all the time I've wasted
Hating my body, shaming myself?
Trust me I'm sorry
Is there anything else?
What do you have to say for yourself?
Verse 2:
Do you want me to get good
at feeling alone and misunderstood?
Do you want me to get comfortable
with misery
So the good times feel more like bliss to me
I think I've got it down,
or at least I thought I had by now
Chorus:
Do you want me to be thankful?
Do you want me to be patient?
Do you want me to say sorry
for all the time I've wasted
Hating my body, shaming myself?
Trust me I'm sorry
Is there anything else?
What do you have to say for yourself?
Bridge:
I'm all ears
Just tell me before I break
I'm all tears
and have been every single day
Sinve you've been here
It's time for you to go
Is there anything else you want me to know?
Chorus:
Do you want me to be thankful?
Do you want me to be patient?
Do you want me to say sorry
for all the time I've wasted
Hating my body, shaming myself?
Trust me I'm sorry
Is there anything else?
What do you have to say for yourself?
