Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's been a week, and I can't tell you a thing I did

I can't sleep, all my friends they're worried again

[PreChorus]

It's a cycle I won't outgrow

I'm the punchline of some sick joke

I can't bring myself to leave home

But I'm terrified to be alone

[Chorus]

I say that I'm fine, but it feels like I'm dying

Why do the words in my head get so violent?

Half of the time I'm just barely surviving

But I'm trying, I'm trying

[Verse 2]

No surprise, that I'm not one for resolutions

Even in the best times, I'm too scared to smell the roses

[PreChorus]

It's a cycle I won't outgrow

I'm the punchline of some sick joke

I can't bring myself to leave home

But I'm terrified to be alone

[Chorus]

I say that I'm fine, but it feels like I'm dying

Why do the words in my head get so violent?

Half of the time I'm just barely surviving

But I'm trying, I'm trying

[PostChorus]

Tryna be everything to everybody

I feel so much that I almost feel nothing

Half of the time I'm just barely surviving

But I'm trying, I'm trying

[Outro]

I'm trying, I'm trying, oh

Yeah, I'm trying, I'm trying

I'm trying, I'm trying

Yeah, I'm trying, I'm trying
