For Sophie
This is Pearl.
Can anybody hear me?
I'm sorry I let you all down.
It was never my intention
To bring you so much pain
That I never would've foreseen prevention.
All the lies and heartache
Made me wonder
If everyone I knew
Was just as good as fake.
Deep down, you know
You were never made for fighting,
But you soldier on anyway
Even when the criticism is biting.
I've tried so long to fight away
My own self-hatred,
But for someone like me,
It's harder done than said.
Must we judge others
For the times we've fucked up?
Let's face it, life is just too short
To solve our problems with just our drinking cup.
