I Have to See This Through

[Various voices]
The past two and a half years have been the most challenging of my entire life. There are days when I don't wanna get out of bed. There are days when I wish I didn't make it home safely. I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't this
I've always struggled with the constant feeling of never being enough
I felt hopeless and unheard
It's just so hard for me to express how I'm feeling, so I just keep it bottled up
I lost my aunt to cancer about two years ago
And losing her was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with
As I watched them pull the plugs with the door shut and the curtains closed...I still haven't got meaning
There's a hole there that will never be filled, no matter how much time goes by
I feel alone, even when I'm around my family
I thought everyone just felt this overwhelming feeling all the time
I struggle with depression and anxiety, and I turn to drugs and alcohol to deal with my thoughts and feelings
Those clouds have been hanging over my head for as long as I can remember, but they never rained down on me quite like this
I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder
I'm afraid to seek help
Always feeling trapped...
...because I can't be the person that I used to be
It makes each passing day harder and harder to get through
Again, to be back here, kind of where I started...
Depression, suicidal thoughts, and...it's just so hard to get through some days. Just want it to be over, but there's no way to move on
I don't have the strength to fake happiness anymore
And every single day, waking up feeling like I don't wanna be alive

You emptied your heart
You turned your insides out
For a chance to be heard
But I've heard you all along
Because of what you've given me
I have to see this through
The truth will set us free
So listen close:
I'm alive because of you

And I wanna let you know that you're not alone. And the struggle that you face, others face too, and others care, and they want to be there for you
I found a way through that hurting. And yes, the pain is still there, but there is a way. I found a purpose. I found out that there is a place for me on this planet
