lirik lagu clayton jennings - i let myself down

[hook: edx]
you
i guess i let my own self down
thinking that you’d come around
i got better things to do
you won’t catch me feeling blue
not over you, oh
you turned your back and let me fall
i rise above it all
standing strong and tall

[verse 1: clayton jennings]
you won’t catch me broken or blue over your absence
you wanted us to die that night on the mattress
you wanted me to wake up in a world full of matches
with my soul in hades and my body in ashes
surrounded by ghouls with wrists slashed with gashes
and i don’t need glasses to look back with 20/20
to know i was a sh~ll of myself, drugged and empty
and along came medusa to confuse and tempt mе
with the lie that being dеad is better than lying there empty
i let myself down when i let you speak to me
discussing death with the devil, both of us cheek~to~cheek
god called me an artist when they called me a freak
i hated myself for being a misfit and labeled unique
’cause it gave these naysayers more content to critique
but i witnessed the same people who sowed get forced to reap
and i’d tell the old me the news, but he’s still six~feet deep and asleep
[hook: edx]
you
i guess i let my own self down
thinking that you’d come around
i got better things to do
you won’t catch me feeling blue
not over you, oh
you turned your back and let me fall
i rise above it all
standing strong and tall

[verse 2: clayton jennings]
i had to fight for my life when i crawled out of my casket
with nothing but a pen and a pad tucked in my jacket
it has to be magic the way i flipped poems into hatchets
to cut open these demons who turn teens into maggots
by convincing them they’re better off dead than alive in their skin
or by reminding them of the shame of their forgivable sins
their skeletons are way worse than the worst of our sins
so they k!ll people so their own skeletons can have twins
i walked through the valley of death and left with a grin
there’s sunshine on the other side of the mess that you’re in
i lived through the trauma, and i pushed past the aggression
i swam to the surface in the black of depression
i came back from a place not many people survive
they wished me death, but now they’re dead, and i’m still alive
[hook: edx]
you
i guess i let my own self down
thinking that you’d come around
i got better things to do
you won’t catch me feeling blue
not over you, oh
you turned your back and let me fall
i rise above it all
standing strong and tall
oh

[outro: clayton jennings]
i’m out here, and i’m still living
and, you know, everything that the devil threw my way
and used people to throw my way wasn’t enough to stop me, so
to those of you who used me
those of you who tried to ruin me
those of you who took advantage of my kindness
i forgive you
and i wish you the best in life
but not in my life
’cause you’re like the old me
you’re dead
