The Cure by Willow Stephens

What does it say about me
Even my family, doesn’t have a clue
That my body’s giving out
Under the weight of all the things I’m trying to do
If I’m honest
I know I’m not the only one to blame
‘Cause I mastered the illusion
Feign perfection and put on a happy face
But something’s screaming like a siren
You gotta hit the brakes cause
The truth you been ignoring
Is the hardest one to face
But I’m scared cause I know the healing’s gonna hurt
Don’t pull that string and unravel my whole world
I ran for so long from all my growing pains
Wasn’t looking for the cure but it found me anyway
I was trained to hit the target
Wanted everyone’s attention but my own
Always feeding off their praises
Seen by everyone, but never really known
I’m hopelessly devoted
To the thing that’s killing me
Had to wear me down and wreck my health
So I could finally see
I’m scared cause I know the healing’s gonna hurt
Don’t pull that string and unravel my whole world
I ran for so long from all my growing pains
Wasn’t looking for the cure but it found me anyway
I’m scared cause I know the healing’s gonna hurt
Don’t pull that string, and unravel my whole world
I ran for so long from all my growing pains
Wasn’t looking for the cure but it found me anyway
But it found me anyway
