lyrics

I’ve been trying to cure myself since 1989
I’ve been seekin’ out all the help from every stupid method I find
They said I can’t believe in my mind
When it talks to me

I’ve been trying to heal myself since 1989
I’ve been wrecking my mental health with every stupid drug that I find
They told me don’t believe in my mind
When it talks to me

Everybody wants to know just why I don’t try anymore
All their faces tell me that I’m weak
And it makes me wanna weep
Even if I could understand what left me locked inside
I still would not know why

I’ve been trying to cure myself since 1989
I’ve been seeking out all the help from every stupid drug that I find
I’ve been trying to heal myself since 1989
I’ve been trying to kill myself since 1989
