Chorus:

               C                        G

I’m not broken, I just need some help

        Em                                       D

I’m not a bad person, this is mental health

        C                                G

I need your trust, so show me care,

         Em                                       C

I can’t fall down the cracks if they’re not there

Spoken word verse 1: D, Em G, C, C

Please do not judge us,

Don’t treat us like a label that’s left

On the side gathering dust,

We are people to, and we need to have your trust,

To listen to our stories show support and comfort us.

Spoken word verse 2:

Cause life is tough,

Waking up with the shakes,

My gears are stuck,

I’m a car without brakes, 

I’m feeling numb,

Trying to break away,

But they keep saying I’m not bad enough,

So how can I be saved?

They keep telling me,

If I don’t get off the booze they’ll keep repelling me?

Then the cycle is continued,

A catch 22,

They need to treat us holistically,

But don’t get misconstrued,

Substance abuse effects more than just a few, it’s true,

Concerned others are neglected,

7 more people effected,

You see mental health and substance misuse is connected,

Where is the education,

Where is the community support

We need motivation,

Why is the pub one of the only social hubs?

We need no alcohol clubs, pubs and places to get some grub?

Chorus:

               C                        G

I’m not broken, I just need some help

        Em                                       D

I’m not a bad person, this is mental health

        C                                G

I need your trust, so show me care,

         Em                                       C

I can’t fall down the cracks if they’re not there

Spoken word verse 3:

Peer pressure, is beer pressure,

How is my fear measured?

When people think I’m boring,

Cause I don’t consume a certain measure,

Fed up of being told I lack motivation, DNA,

I may have addiction, but I’ve not gone astray,

Other things happen in my life but please let me say,

Determination is in my veins, within my DNA,

I walk into a building and I’m offered alcohol gel,

They talk about equality, why can’t they take the alcohol out,

Instead of me explaining about my alcohol hell,

Things like this we nee
