Thank You - by Erik Smith

I give you thanks
I thank you for hearing the words I say
I give you thanks
I thank you for caring about who I am
I give you thanks
I thank you for helping me
Through all the fun times
Throughout the hard times
The impossible times
I try to save myself
I just destroy myself
I can't avoid myself
I really miss myself

You sacrifice the time you make for yourself
You feverishly try to straighten out myself
I do every little thing you say
I hold up everything you gave today
I give you all I can, I cannot repay
Now why did you take it all away
Please, I tried to save myself
I just destroyed myself
I can't avoid myself
I still can't find myself
I really miss myself
