I'm not the person I once was

'Cause now, I'm just broken

Mental illness can change a person

Every day, I wish I was dead

I'm an empty shell, simply existing

I'm not living

I'm just breathing

You took the person I was

And you stole my soul

You shattered me into a million pieces

I'm broken

'Cause you shattered me 

I wish I could be the person I used to be 

I wish I wasn't suicidal

I wish I loved living, like I used to

I wish I didn't cry

I wish I could laugh

I wish I didn't hate life

I wish I could just breathe

I wish life wasn't so hard 

You took the person I was

And you stole my soul

You shattered me into a million pieces

I'm broken

'Cause you shattered me

I wish I wouldn't worry about the calories

They're just numbers

Why do they matter so much?

I wish I didn't care about what I eat

Why does it matter, anyway?

I hate being so insecure

Who cares?

You took the person I was

And you stole my soul

You shattered me into a million pieces

I'm broken

'Cause you shattered me

I'm taking back what you stole

I'm breaking free from you today

'Cause I'm tired of you suffocating me

I'm not broken, anymore

'Cause you're gone

You took the person I was

But I'm taking her back

You stole my soul

But I gave it back

You shattered me into a million pieces

But I put them back together

I'm not broken

'Cause I put them back together

I'm not shattered, anymore
