lyrics

When I looked in the mirror
I used to feel so much fear
Hated myself
I didn’t wanna be here

Everyone said I’d be a failure
Trying to steal all of my power

All of the years I spent feeling so low
Wasting time and crying tears of sorrow

No hope for tomorrow and feeling sad everyday
No self esteem
I had nothing to say

And I feel like I can't step down
Everyone keeps telling me to turn around
And give up the fight
I’ve been up all night
Trying to reach the top
I’m not afraid of heights

I’ve almost reached the summit
They all want me to fall down and just quit
So they keep talking about me
Behind my back where I can’t see so I can’t succeed

I’m almost at the summit
I can hear all my enemies running
They’ve all gossiped and mentioned my name
Put me to shame and caused me so much distain

My reputation is what they want to destroy
They don’t care what they do to my life
They just want me to throw in the towel
To give up so they keep going around and lying on me.

They get off on being a fake friend
They camouflage and try to blend in
With the rest of society
They’ve got no empathy

For anyone
They’re so selfish
They are fake friends and narcissists
