anxiety

on the surface everything's just fine

but nervous doesn't describe

what's going on behind these eyes

it's just too easy to fake a smile

but you got my heartbeat on repeat

goin' bout a hundred thousand miles

my mind's racin' but i can never outrun you

you're two steps ahead while i'm tripping over my shoes

a-n-x-i-e-t-y

no matter how hard i try

you will never leave

yeah yeah

i h-a-t-e-y-o-u

and all the stupid things you do

i give in so easily

you get the best of me

you get the best of me

i wish i could just let you go

but the truth is you are all i've ever known

you're an infection

a medicine

just numbs my brain

i'm doing anything and everything

to feel normal again

what's normal again

'cause

my mind's racin' but i can never outrun you

you're two steps ahead while i'm tripping over my shoes

my mind's racin' but i can never outrun you

playing games with me that i will always lose

a-n-x-i-e-t-y

no matter how hard i try

you will never leave

hey yeah

i h-a-t-e-y-o-u

and all the stupid things you do

i give in so easily

you get the best of me

you get the best of me

of me. of me. it's crazy

my thoughts start racing

and my mind's erasing everything i knew

it's just pills and therapy bills

just to keep me away from you

and it works for a little while

bullshit smiles

but i was just walking through the motions

either that or losing track of my emotions

4am panic attacks

takin' red-eyes back

home

i feel by myself

but with you

i'm never alone

damn

a-n-x-i-e-t-y

no matter how hard i try

you will never leave
