I'm just trying to survive
Is it so surprising
That I want to leave?
To get away from everything?

Trust me this isn't easy
I'm not here because it's fun
I wasn't lying to you
Trying to get your sympathy

You say the devil's got a grip on me
I don't understand
Is my opinion exaggerated?
Is my reaction not okay?

What do you mean?
If the devil's got a grip on me
Does that mean
What I've experienced isn't reality?

Is it not enough that I'm here?
What did you expect from me?
When I finally say the truth
And you blame it on spirituality

I'm tired of hurting
I thought you loved me
But every time I'm honest
You say the devil's got a grip on me.
