I know what it feels like to be lonely
And I know what it feels like to have no one there for you
It feels like your drowning in a sea but everyone is swimming around you
The sea is made of my inner thoughts and feelings
I try taking a deep breath in but it feels as if a thousand knives are passing through my heart
I try swimming up for air but my thoughts push me down further
Thoughts of "You are never going to be good enough" and "You are just a worthless girl"
Those thought have pushed me to the bottom of the sea
And those thoughts will remain forever in my head
So I know what it feels like to be drowning
But I also know what it feels like to be alone
