Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I caught a sickness and they don't know the name of it
I flew to Paris trying to get away
Mmm, I drown my sadness, embarrassed by the shame of it
But all it seems to do is magnify the pain
I wish I was a strong boy, head in the sand
If I were them, I would be the man
And my lips are searching for what happiness is
I'm dragging my feet trying to breathe again
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm trying to feel amazing
Yeah, but I can't get out of my way, and
Yeah, wish I could feel amazing
But this is all that I can feel today
[Verse 2]
I tore the page and I put all of my weight on it
So I could stop it trying to blow away
Mmm, the darkest days, well, I got all I could take from them
Starting to think it'll never change
I see my life is planned in front of me
And I don't need to do a thing just because I can
And my friends are talking like, "What's happened to him?"
I'm dragging my feet trying to breathe again, and
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm trying to feel amazing
Yeah, but I can't get out of my way, and
Yeah, wish I could feel amazing
But this is all that I can feel today, and
Yeah, I'm trying to feel amazing
Yeah, but I can't get out of my way, and
Yeah, wish I could feel amazing
But this is all that I can feel today
[Verse 3]
I'm trying to think, at the same time trying to say something
Can't switch off my brain so don't meditate
Every time I crack a smile I can sense another tear coming
That's kinda weird, but what can I say?
I know I'm on the edge, and one push of the wind
Will send me flying deep into the unknown
I guess this is the time to let 'em all in
'Cause nothing is worse than when you hit the low, and
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm trying to feel amazing
Yeah, but I can't get out of my way, and
Yeah, wish I could feel amazing
But this is all that I can feel today, and
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm trying to feel amazing
Yeah, but I can't get out of my way, and
Yeah, wish I could feel amazing
But this is all that I can feel today, yeah
Yeah, this is all that I can feel today
Yeah, this is all that I can feel today
