Forget To Want

Like I'm going to tell you how I am.
You know you don't really care.
That nicety is hollow and wants something more.
That's how I am.

I've got so much hate roiling inside me
Though you'll never see a drop of it.
If it's just me,
I'm the only one I have to hate.
Forget about me; we'll both be better off.

Forget what you were taught.
Forget what you know.
Forget what you think.
Right now, in the place you’re at,
Thinking’s just going to dig you in deeper.

Stop and breathe.
This was just a nightmare
Tattooed into your mind
Burning on your lips.

Don't complain about the things you couldn't change
Or the things that were never yours to start.
Be good, get better, or give up
Your only choices or to go home.
If you can find that at all.

It doesn't hurt here.
I don't want to be in pain.
I don't want to be miserable.
I don't want you to hate me.

Well, you can't always get what you want.
I need a reason to believe.
