[Verse 1]

Belief in the self makes you the beacon of your own help

Through the only pair of lungs you have to breathe from

Make your own words the only ones you need


[Verse 2]

Every day you'll climb what can't be climbed

To a peak that nobody's ever been on

So in the morning, when you can't put your clothes on

Find comfort in something you can't lose


[Pre-Chorus]

I’ve tried to leave my bed

I can't meet my friends

When they try to get me to leave the house for a while

They say, "you're not trying, you're in denial”


[Chorus]

But I just can't summon the strength

I just can't summon the strength

I just can't summon the strength

I just can't summon the strength


[Verse 3]

Made myself a container to be filled

When I knew I couldn't hold any more

Held it all in when I listened to you talk

So in my hand you'd feel that strength was ours


[Pre-Chorus]

I’ve tried to leave my bed

I can't meet my friends

When they try to get me to leave the house for a while

They say, "you're not trying, you're in denial”


[Chorus]

But I just can't summon the strength

I just can't summon the strength

I just can't summon the strength

I just can't summon the strength


[Outro]

If it's tough to treat yourself kind

Remember it's okay that you tried
