defectivekid - I'm Dead Inside but That's Okay Lyrics

I'm dead inside but that's okay
I wear this pain like armour every day
You never saw the truth in what I gave
I'm dead inside but that's okay

You asked me, "Do you even have a job?"
Mocked the grind, every hustle, every sob
But I stayed, hoping you'd see my fight
Even though your words cut deep each night

I walked on eggshells just to keep you calm
But every step felt like setting off an alarm
Too scared to speak, to breathe, or move
Still, I stayed, 'cause I couldn't lose you

I'm dead inside but that's okay
I wear this pain like armour every day
You never saw the truth in what I gave
I'm dead inside but that's okay

I lost myself trying to keep the peace
Tangled in your web, couldn't find release
You never cared about my broken dreams
Only cared about how it made you seem

Now I see the cracks in this fragile frame
But I'm still holding on, still playing the game
Loved you too much to walk away
Even though you drained me every day

I'm dead inside but that's okay
I wear this pain like armour every day
You never saw the truth in what I gave
I'm dead inside but that's okay

I'm dead inside but that's okay
I wear this pain like armour every day
You never saw the truth in what I gave
(What I gave)
I'm dead inside but that's okay
(That's okay)

I'm dead inside but that's okay
I wear this pain like armour every day
You never saw the truth in what I gave
I'm dead inside but that's okay
