dandelion hands | how to never stop being sad w/ lyrics

i own nothing

| lyrics |
repeat to yourself that they’re not really gone
time has proven that fooling yourself into believing
a lie is the most effective way to deal with
things you have no control over

keep listening to the mixtapes they made you
overanalyse every single word you hear
“was this a sign that things were going wrong”
no no, you were the one that cared too hard, not them

stay up every single night staring at your phone
either attempting to gather up the courage to
turn these demons, these constant reminders of
your loneliness into nothing more than a bad dream
or praying just for one second you could feel
the warmth of equally returned love

go out for coffee four times a week by yourself
always bring your notebook, never stop writing
leave little comics and thank you notes with your tip
watch them smile as you get in your car

always talk down on yourself whenever possible
my life is shit because i deserve it, right?
you must have done something real bad
its nearly impossible for you to cry now

avoid your friends for weeks even though
they’re the only sense of consistency you have
left in your life, if they really wanted
to see you they’d come, but they won’t (who cares?)

allow yourself to lose interest in the things you love
watch as you begin to take a backseat to the
world around you, don’t fight it
become a secondary character in your own motion picture

but most importantly drown every single one of
your feelings in old stolen rum, learn to
love the taste of it dripping down your throat
find comfort in the warmth coming from your
stomach, you’re drinking bottled love now

you don’t need other people to drive away your loneliness
you just needed to find a way to talk to it

"praying just for one second you could feel the warmth of equally returned love"

[BiggerBear]

'become a secondary character in your own motion picture'

[oro]

this song is exactly what depression feels like, the background music, so comforting and warm, but so sad. the addicting and relatable lyrics, the feeling of wanting to stay this way, stay this low but also wanting to feel happy for once. this is song is so significant to me because it just reminds me of how i loved how comforting but painful my depression was

[elijahh_v]

'im not in the mood to hang out'

im never in the mood anymore.
i hate going out of my bedroom.
i wish i could just sleep all day and never eat.
i wish i could feel happy without having to get high.
i miss the old me.
the old me didnt want to die
the old me loved my friends.
i feel like a corpse, dead but physically alive.

[mistierr]

this is so sad and calming at the same time and i'm so conflicted.

[Audrey-zh]

"avoid your friends for weeks even though their the only sense of consistency you have in your life." Real.

[rip]

the comment section is like a town full of sad citizens. i hope we’ll all feel better soon. but as of now, this song is everything we cant say.

[yvettealarcon]

"You're drinking bottled love now"

[starrycat]

Used to listen to this all the time as an unbearably sad teenager. Didn’t think I’d be back here but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to escape this

[erikvasquez]

“My life is shit because I deserve it, right”
A constant reminder that plays over and over in head.

[Nilzerb]

It doesn't help that other people are feeling this as well. It just hurts worse. No one deserves this, it seems to always happen to the most caring people as well.

[dibsnt]

i just miss the days when i was a good person. i can’t even talk to my own friends about my feelings without feeling like i’m putting an unnecessary burden on them. i hope whoever reads this realizes that you still have a chance to fix or heal whatever’s happening

[Koykah]

its never ending conversation with loneliness

[random]

im 14 and i relate to this song so much, i just wanna be happy again.

[linny]

I need more music like that. Spoken word songs are the best. The band Hotel Books is also really good and have really good and emotional lyrics

[jas]

"You don't need other people to drive away your loneliness, you just need to find a way to talk to it"

[anihall]

“You never needed people to drive away your loneliness, you just needed a way to talk to it.”

[MissCoconuty]

This is the kind of thing I wish I had the brilliance to write...I cried listening to it

[lillith-]

"my life is shit because I deserve it, right?"
hits way too close to home

[jazzyworthy]

Time has proven
That fooling yourself into believing a lie
Is the most effective way
To deal with things you have no control over
Keep listening to the mixtapes they made you
Overanalyze every single word you hear
"Was this a sign that things were going wrong"
No no, you were the one that cared too hard, not them
Stay up every single night staring at your phone
Either attempting to gather up the courage
To turn these demons, these constant reminders
Of your loneliness into nothing more than a bad dream
Or praying just for one second you could feel
The warmth of equally returned love
Go out for coffee four times a week by yourself
Always bring your notebook, never stop writing
Leave little comics and thank you notes with your tip
Watch them smile as you get in your car
Talk down on yourself whenever possible
My life is shit because I deserve it, right?
You must have done something real bad
Its nearly impossible for you to cry now
Avoid your friends for weeks even though
They're the only sense of consistency you have
Left in your life, if they really wanted
To see you they'd come, but they won't (who cares?)
Allow yourself to lose interest in the things you love
Watch as you begin to take a backseat
To the world around you, don't fight it
Become a secondary character in your own motion picture
But most importantly
Drown every single one of your feelings
In old stolen rum
Learn to love the taste of it dripping down your throat
Find comfort in the warmth coming from your stomach
You're drinking bottled love now
You don't need other people to drive away your loneliness
You just needed to find a way to talk to it
