Matter Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My skin was steel, you made it rust
And I just can't drink this off
Hoping that it gets me through today
Carved into my skin, I'm just a fragile little kid
I've been branded by this
My self-portrait lacks innocence

[Chorus]
You keep saying that I matter
But it doesn't make me feel anything
Just stop saying that there's next year
'Cause I don't think I'll make it past today

[Verse 2]
I was holding my own
But then your fingers traced the cracks in my bones
You said, "Just open up, kid
Then you can make yourself whole again"

[Chorus]
You keep saying that I matter
But it doesn't make me feel anything
Just stop saying that there's next year 'Cause I don't think I'll make it past today

[Bridge]
It should have been me
Laid out on the concrete
I have to leave this body
Please, just remember me

[Chorus]
You keep saying that I matter
But it doesn't make me feel anything
(I'm sorry I was born this way)
Just stop saying that there's next year
'Cause I don't think I'll make it past today
(You won't remember me)

[Outro]
My skin was steel, but now its rust
I'm giving in, I'm f*cking crushed
You just couldn't even care at all
But maybe I'll get over this
And maybe I'll grow up from it
But all I keep thinking is it should have been me
It should've been me
