If you saw me now
You wouldn’t realize it
I had OCD
I was depressed
I tried to kill myself
If you saw me now
You’d see a smile
Spread across my face
Lighting up like Christmas lights
If you saw me now
You wouldn’t see the pain
That led me to that night
That awful stormy night
If you saw me now
I’d never even try
I’ve beaten you
You can’t control me
