Don't tell me who I should be or where I should go to see
All the things you want for me
Cause I know just what to do
That's right for me what I choose
No matter what I do
My brain tells me I will lose this race
The chase
Problems I'll always face
Thrown at me from miles away
I struggle to wake up every day
Barely see the light of day
Not normal I'm out of place
At least that's how I feel today
It's just like me to overthink these things
Get in my own way
And don't tell me what to say
My life's not a game for you to play
It's mine and I'll be fine
As long as I got this special little guy
Right here by my side
Helping me through this wild ride
Promise I'll get life right
This time
And I don't know what else to do
Other than to tell you these crazy things
Going through my brain
That make me feel insane
It's a mess in my head
So many pages left unread
Lots of thoughts to reveal and be said
Cause I'm my own me
Not so hard to believe
Think no one loves me
It's insanity
Just went through a tragedy
Wake me up from this bad dream
This horrible nightmare
Please, all this makes me wanna scream
So please listen to me
And try understanding
Feel like drowning
Depression overriding
It's all so overwhelming
This world, this society
Too shy to sing or do anything
Or talk to anyone
Bad communication
Maybe I should just give up
So I isolate myself these days, oh well
Cause I hate people and they hate me
Especially lately
Or maybe it's just my anxiety
Eating me alive inside
Making me lose my mind
Telling me lies to make me retreat
And to do things I wouldn't normally
But I know it's not what I need
To stay away from everybody
So I need to go outside
See the sunshine
Leave the past behind
Take a drive or maybe a walk
Try to talk, write a song
Sing along, just move on
Be a good mom, pray to God
He knows I'm odd
Take a chance, do a dance
Make that change, just be strange
Follow my heart, make a new start
Follow my dreams, be who I wanna be
Just be brave, say hey
It's okay to not be okay
So I'm gonna get some help
Surround myself with all the people who love me
My family, my sweet baby
They're my peace, my serenity
You're not the lies your brain tells you
I promise it's true
Listen to me seriously
I know it's hard to see it this way
But you're better and stronger than you think
So don't wait, motivate and don't be afraid
To take some time away
Mentally, yeah, take it easy
Yeah and take a deep breath and repeat
Take a deep breath and repeat
Yeah Take a deep breath and repeat
People do love me
It's the truth
They do love you
