“You don't think you're a fighter But I know you are You are a liar, you say you're the one You don't think that you're worthy I think you're wrong, and I think you're perfect The way that you are Tired from the pressure I put on myself for years Tired from my twenties to whiskey bottles and beers Tired of smiling while I've been holding back tears But I believe I can do it, so I'm here I'm a believer I believe I'm a believer I believe I've been told I have a death wish No one's interested Cold and too aggressive Close to hypertension I'm broken from the pressure Explosive with my temper, I'm sober But I'm stressing and hoping it gets better Am I falling off? Like a weather stream so I can visit home and talk to mom Maybe all I need's another Instagram post With a quote about believing in yourself when you're low You don't think you're a fighter But I know you are You are a liar, you say you are You don't think that you're worth it, but I think you are And I think you're perfect, the way that you are Maybe I'm weaker, and I know I've lost before But I'm a believer, nothing is impossible I'm a believer, I believe I'm a believer, I believe I believe You don't think you're a fighter But I know you are You are a liar You say you are You don't think that you're worth it But I think you are And I think you're perfect The way that you are And I think you're perfect the way that you are”
