This song is written from the perspective of someone who is suicidal. The person doubts his thoughts and looks to find a positive outlook instead.
[Intro:]
I'm looking for a way
Out of this life
I don't need to regret
Anything I've done
But I need to think about
What's really at stake
I don't consider everything
I've done as a crime
[Verse 1:]
So here I'm waiting for
A sign that shows me the way
Though I feel like it's all over
It needs to start again
[Pre-Chorus:]
The planet's shaking
My heart is aching
But I don't need to feel alone
[Chorus:]
Don't treat me like a victim
I don't know why I'm always targeted
I'm beginning to understand my life
I'm just not strong enough
Take me for who I am
And not for what you want me as
I'm learning slowly that
The world isn't dead yet
[Verse 2:]
I'm shaking, I'm breaking
You don't need to understand
It's simple, I'm stupid
I don't need your counseling
[Pre-Chorus:]
You seem so worried
Don't be worried
I will make it on my own
[Chorus:]
Don't treat me like a victim
I don't know why I'm always targeted
I'm beginning to understand my life
I'm just not strong enough
Take me for who I am
And not for what you want me as
I'm learning slowly that
The world isn't dead yet
[Verse 3:]
Am I just underscored by
Depression and distress?
I don't know but all I know is
I'm not losing it yet
[Pre-Chorus:]
You're already mine
And I will be fine
I am no longer alone
[Chorus:]
Don't treat me like a victim
I don't know why I'm always targeted
I'm beginning to understand my life
I'm just not strong enough
Take me for who I am
And not for what you want me as
I'm learning slowly that
The world isn't dead yet
