New Batteries

from Take Care by Josie Newton

lyrics

You wake up with those clouded eyes
Knowing it'll be the same each time
It aches
You know you'll do all that it takes
To arrive, to then smile, to laugh
To say you're fine if anybody asks
Knowing deep down that's not true
And all it ever does is hurt you
You were told it would get better
If you pulled yourself together
But it's been a decade, of alternative ways
You're never fully charged no matter you trade
Despite the sacrifices, or what you let go
The dreams and the hopes all out the window
No one will ever know

Oh please
Fit me with new batteries
I need a fighting chance
Oh please
Fit me with new batteries
Don't know how long these will last

I'm pushing thirty
Still at odds with my body, we're enemies
Never see eye to eye
She breaks me, I only ever criticise
It’s hard to accept
All the promises that weren’t kept
Now she's part of me
Part of my DNA, part of my synergy
I can't remember what it like, to not have a thorn in my side
If I could draw on the outside, what it's truly like on the inside
Would you wanna see?
Or do you happen to believe me?

Oh please
Fit me with new batteries
I need a fighting chance
Oh please
Fit me with new batteries
Don't know how long these will last
