I was done with life at 8 years old
and I'm scared nothing will fix me
I'm careening off of this cliff face
and you need to let go of my hand

Maybe it's a chemical imbalance in my brain
Maybe I'm just a kid who went insane
You're stuck in my head amidst all the demons
and I need to let go of your hand

I'm half a person and I can't tell who I am
I want to save you but I need to save myself
I wish I didn't look at you and see the moon
You need to let go of my hand
