When people ask how you are What are the odds that you’re going to tell the truth When it’s honestly just easier to say i’m alright No one asks questions when you say you’re alright If only you knew Knew how i wanted to take an eternal flight The truth is I’m not alright But i don’t know how to tell people that I don’t know how to receive the help i give I can help you all day and night But i feel as if i don’t deserve it so i tell you I’m alright The truth is, I’m drowning in my sorrows Not wanting there to be a tomorrow But it’s ok I’m alright Don’t worry your pretty little head Just sleep tight Because when it comes down to it I’m alright

I’m alright

I feel like a prisoner in my own head My thoughts rattling the cell gate wanting to get out Then the guard yelling to get back That’s me... I’m the guard Telling my feelings to get back Knowing that no one would understand Knowing that things are getting out of hand Ya know the funny thing is, is that they tell you to reach out before it gets bad But then when you do, you get told you’re overdramatic or overreacting So I’m constantly stuck feeling like a prisoner and a guard at the same time Feeling like i’m serving life for a crime A crime i didn’t even commit I didn’t ask to feel this way I didn’t ask for sleepless nights Contemplating life I didn’t ask for constant overthinking and never feeling enough I’m trapped with no way out I try to scream I try to shout But then there comes that guard again Telling me to shut up because if I tell someone they aren’t going to understand It’s a constant battle between the two And i don’t know exactly what to do

God there’s always you You’re always sitting at the back of my mind I wanna think about them How sweet they are How they make me feel loved and wanted But then there’s you I miss you and I shouldn't It’s clear that you’ve moved on It’s clear i wasn’t your swan song I just wanted to be enough for you God you promised so many things You promised you wanted to end up with a ring But then you went and ended it And for what You make me feel like i was safe and wanted and loved To just take it all away simply because you could I shouldn’t miss you but i do The way you covered your face when you got flustered The way you smiled at the thought of a future But now it’s gone I want to have that with them I want to trust again but you took that away My feelings of safety and security in a relationship is all gone I want to be with them but then there’s you And there’s always going to be you isn’t there I guess i fell way harder than you did Me ever being happy again without you? Heaven forbid.
