Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I don’t know where to start
How do you admit that you’re falling apart?
I mean, how will I admit that I’m falling apart?
[Verse 2]
My mother’s gonna worry but I’m fine in my heart
I live the words that I’ve said
And live with a voice that tends to tell me that I’m shit in my head
Well maybe I should fuck it and be happy instead
[Verse 3]
I should just say fuck it and be happy instead, right?
Right
[Verse 4]
‘Cause there’s a lot of people tryna tell me how to deal with myself
But I’m not gonna listen if you mention my health
I don’t care
Don’t tell me and don’t text me
‘Cause that kinda shit upsets me
Just kind of affects me
And it’s bringing me down
And I’m not gonna lie
These days I prefer to just not be outside
And these day I just end up spending all of my time
With my girlfriend
But to be honest, I think that’s alright
[Verse 5]
‘Cause time keeps rolling and I’m just making songs
I’m doing my best
Still find myself stressed
And I’m no longer sure where I belong
I’m starting to rust
Don’t know who to trust
(Don’t trust anyone, not even me)
[Verse 6]
Some people concentrate on style too much
But I think I just force myself to smile too much
And that should soon end for the best
I wanna live my life with no stress
Love life and feel blessed like
It’s kinda funny on the inside
I’m tryin’ to be a man but really I’m just a little child, shit
And that’s pretty much it
Yeah, that’s pretty much it
(Is there anything else?)
[Verse 7]
Oh yeah, my jaw hurts a lot because I grind it with stress
I was an idiot recently and lost a lot of my friends
Nothing brings me joy and nothing makes me smile
Being at school makes me aware of how I haven’t been myself in a while
And I wonder what it was like to be eleven
One day, if there’s such a thing as life after death
Such a thing as heaven
And every now and then I think about the fact that I’d become a legend
If I’d died at twenty-seven
