Harder Than I Thought
All it needs is a simple number
To trigger the pain
It awakes from its slumber
It takes over my brain
To trigger the pain
It's not a difficult task
It takes over my brain
Maybe the smile is just a mask
It's not a difficult task
To not eat for a meal or two
Maybe the smile is just a mask
i thought recovery would be an easy thing to do
To not eat for a meal or two
It awakes from its slumber
I thought recovery would be an easy thing to do
All it needs is a simple number
