[Verse 1] It's crazy that the things that give me pause Are the people who'd be worried by this song And the message etched in marker In the middle of my mirror: Take your medication, asshole You've got work before too long Everybody says they'd miss me And I know they probably would There'd be flowers, there'd be phone calls People wishing that they could Have seen the signs, have called me sooner Have been there when I needed them It's strange how much we'd do for someone Once there's nothing left to mend [Pre-Chorus] It's like I'm being gradually murdered by goodbyes Until my outsides look exhausted And there's nothing left inside Everyone would hate to lose me That's the reason that they give [Chorus] For your sake I'll keep getting up tomorrow For your sake I'll keep dragging myself through I'm worth so fucking much in theory Just not enough to make room for If there's no purpose, I can borrow yours Be the person you don't have to mourn I don't have to want this life You just need me not to leave it For your sake [Verse 2] We should get together sometime God, it's been another year Happy birthday, merry Christmas Wish you lived a little nearer Little hearts beneath my pictures "How've you been?" and "Miss your face" Enough to know I'm not forgotten Not enough to fill the space Maybe that's just being thirty Maybe everyone's this tired Maybe love becomes reminders That somebody hasn't died Maybe this is what connection is: A name glowing on a screen Close enough to keep me tethered Too far off to carry me [Pre-Chorus] It's like I'm being gradually murdered by goodbyes A thousand tiny disappearances From people still alive And I know they'd hate to lose me So I guess that's why I stay [Chorus] For your sake I'll keep getting up tomorrow For your sake I'll keep dragging myself through I'm worth so fucking much in theory Just not enough to make room for If there's no purpose, I can borrow yours Be the person you don't have to mourn I don't have to want this life You just need me not to leave it For your sake [Bridge] I don't need a grand design I've made my peace with empty skies Time's a whore and life's a bore And both keep fucking passing by But don't tell me life is precious If you mean it when it ends Don't save all your love for funerals Then call yourself my friend I don't need you to rescue me I don't need you to make me whole I just wish being loved by people Didn't feel so much like being alone [Breakdown] Maybe obligation counts When meaning doesn't show Maybe I can keep on moving Without knowing where it goes But I'm tired of being evidence That someone somewhere cares Everybody'd notice if I vanished Nobody notices I'm there [Final Chorus] For your sake I'll keep getting up tomorrow For your sake I'll keep doing what I do I'm worth so fucking much in theory Just not enough to make room for If there's no purpose, I can borrow yours Be the person you don't have to mourn I don't have to love my life You just need me not to leave it For your sake [Outro] The message in the mirror Is fading at the edges: Take your medication, asshole. Fine.
