Electricks - Not Alone lyrics

[Verse 1] This one's for all the girls who do their best to avoid mirrors Because you never feel good enough, and you can't stand your own appearance You deprive yourself of food to lose weight that you don't have And stick your fingers down your throat, to where your broken heart's at But the truth is, you're blind, from all the things that only you see You've become your greatest critic, and your own worst enemy You say "skinny's happy. thin's the only way to be." 95 pounds in high school, you still cry yourself to sleep This one's for all the girls in love with long sleeve shirts Because blood washes away, but every scar still hurts You couldn't take the pain of your every day life So you took your trust and put it in a lighter and a pocket knife You say you do it to escape the pain of your world But I hate to know someone's harming such a beautiful girl If you won't let anyone in, just listen to this song And know that no matter what, you never gotta be alone [Chorus] You never gotta be alone So don't try to do it on your own You ain't gotta put everything on your own shoulders And I can't find a single flaw Beautiful girl, all in all So stand up tall Fly don't fall You're Not Alone at all [Verse 2] Cheerleaders, Prom Queens, Celebrities, and Models You get the food in your mouth, can't get yourself to swallow You spit it out, and write purge on your wrist Ain't had a single thing to eat, but you've got yourself convinced You never trust a boy who says he likes the way you look Cuz every single other guy that said that was a crook So now you see a different you than the rest of us I want to make you see, you're one of the best of us Put on a fake smile with your makeup in the morning The camera adds ten pounds, your mirror adds fourty Five pounds, ten pounds, twenty pounds, thirty If skinny was so happy, your heart wouldn't be hurting Ok, you count calories, I'll count tears If i get a higher number, somethings gotta change here Forget about Pro-Ana and your thigh gap Look at where my eyes at, yours are where the prize at I ain't trying to be in love with you, no flirting from me I just hate that you don't know you're beautiful baby Not hot, not s**y, not a dime, not fine I said you're beautiful, perfectly flawless, one of a kind So when things go South, and your world gets dark And you think "Why did my life even ever have to start?" Don't let the media compare you to anyone, no You're an individual, but girl, you're never alone [Chorus] You never gotta be alone So don't try to do it on your own You ain't gotta put everything on your own shoulders And I can't find a single flaw Beautiful, all in all So stand up tall Fly don't fall You're Not Alone at all [Verse 3] You feel worthless, hopeless, disappointing, pathetic Everything looks fine, but you're far from copacetic Grades dropping, friends leaving, parents fighting, you can't even take it anymore Terrified of what's in store Traded warmth and joy for the embrace of a cool blade When you still couldn't chill, you held yourself against a flame With every single cut, you grow closer to the next Tears streaming down your cheek as you smile on a text Blood runs down your arms, your sides, your thighs Permanent scars, because of self created lies You think nobody could understand what it's like But I still got the word "dumb" carved into my thigh So when things go South, and your world gets dark And you think "Why did my life ever even have to start?" Don't isolate yourself, like nobody could ever know And don't fight pain with pain, you're never alone [Chorus] You never gotta be alone So don't try to do it on your own You ain't gotta put everything on your own shoulders And I can't find a single flaw Beautiful, all in all So stand up tall Fly don't fall You're Not Alone at all
