Writing lyrics to forget how I feel
Anxiety's high and on the build
I keep writing my life I wanna chill
I keep writing my life I wanna chill
Writing lyrics to forget how I feel
Anxiety's high and on the build
I keep writing my life I wanna chill
[Verse 1]
Pressure of making a song stick
Label's don't care they're not even offering
Team unaware I'm sinking it don't swim
High tides here I'm hoping it don't win
I've been lonely in the storm
Friendship shakes I'm holding out for the cause
Basic strength I know I'm weaker than norm
Tracing steps to see when I'm on the floor
No one hears when you lie
No one sees when you cry
I've been feeling my vice
I've been feeding this loneliness but feeling hunger inside
Food for thought's lame when you're starving for truth but your lies are to blame
Trying to find what I'm saying
Trying to hide all the pain
[Hook]

[Verse 2]
My little sister asked me if I'm her dad
I said no
I asked why
She said well
In school, they spoke about love and what a dad does
They come to school plays, care when you're sick
Tie your shoelace, help with homework
Cut your food straight, make you laugh loads
Strong when you ain't
Strong when you ain't
Tears fell when she said it
Helpless cos she meant it
Thinking about her heart and how I work hard just so I can protect it
I'll never lie to her
Invest time to confide in her
Invest time to provide for her
Invest time to provide for ya

If they see me fall away they'll always stay

Dedicating myself to take care of you
If they see me fall away they'll always stay
Those who truly care will support me through tough times
If they see me fall away they'll always stay
True friends will stand by me even if I struggle
If they see me fall away they'll always stay
Supportive individuals will remain despite my difficulties
If they see me fall away they'll always
True companions will stay loyal no matter what
