Losing Control

Waking up tired from the weight of my mind

Every small effect feels a little unkind

They say they know me, say they read my face

But they don't feel the pressure when I'm stuck in this place

I try to explain but the words fall apart

There's a storm in my head and a crack in my heart

They say it's a phase, that I'll be okay

But they don't live inside me at the end of the day

I'm breaking, shaking, losing control

Pain takes a piece of my broken soul

I scream inside but my mouth stays closed

Surrounded by people but still alone

I'm fading, failing, stuck in this pain

Tears hit the floor like the cold, hard rain

I'm finally safe but you don't really know

How it hurts just to live, how it hurts just to cope

Every road feels endless, every turn feels wrong

I've been fighting these feelings for way too long

They tell me, "Be grateful," tell me, "Be calm"

But my hands keep trembling, I can't keep them warm

I'm trapped in my thoughts like a lockdown room

Every breath feels heavy, every night feels too soon

I hear all the advice, hear every claim

But none of it touches this inner strain

I'm breaking, shaking, losing control

Pain takes a piece of my broken soul

I scream inside but my mouth stays closed

Surrounded by people but still alone

I'm fading, failing, stuck in this pain

Tears hit the floor like the cold, hard rain

I'm finally safe but you don't really know

How it hurts just to live, how it hurts just to cope (hey, hey-ey, hey)

Don't call it simple, don't box me in

This isn't a story with an easy end

I'm carrying weight that you can't see

And it's crushing the part of me

That I used to be

I used to be

I'm breaking, shaking, losing control

Pain takes a piece of my broken soul

I scream inside but my mouth stays closed

Surrounded by people but still alone

I'm fading, failing, stuck in this pain

Tears hit the floor like the cold, hard rain

I'm finally safe but you don't really know

How it hurts just to live, how it hurts just to cope (hey, hey-ey, hey)

(Hey, hey-ey, hey)
