**[Intro]**
-(Just survive)-

It's a performance,
any kind of reassurance,
too much,
emotional responsibility

-(It's trauma history)-

-(just survive)-

**[Pre-Chorus]**
I'm ok, {She's a burden}
I'm alright, {She's really hurtin}
I'm just tired, {I can't breathe}
I'll be ok. {PLEASE SAVE ME!!}

**[Chorus]**
"Here she goes again"
"She just wants attention"

{survive, survive, survive}
<Veil, Mask, Shroud> {Whatever's allowed}

{Does she even know who she is right now?}

-(just survive)-

|Don't give away what's inside|
|It’s safer to hide in plain sight|

**[Chorus]**
"Here she goes again"
"She just wants attention"

-(just survive)-

**[Verse]**
<Bury the guilt, bury the shame>
-(We can't let her go through it again)-
<The grief can't reach the surface>
|It will do more than hurt us|
{She won't survive what's coming}

[Bridge]
"Honey, you just have to know"
"You just have to not let it show"

Don't speak up. {they'll go}
Don't push back. {I'll be alone}
Don't be a burden. {you need a home}
Don't express. {don't fail the test}

**[Chorus]**
"Here she goes again"
"She just wants attention"

(just survive)

[Outro]
{It's a performance.}

{It's any kind of reassurance.}

{It's too much emotional responsibility}

{It's our history.}
