You're On My Mind
Birds Lyrics

This is the state of my mind
The way I feel and think is reflected in the current state of my mind.

The state of my mind Is kind of hard for me to find
I struggle to understand and define my own mental state.

I brood things and here it comes, the pain
I overthink and dwell on things, which brings me pain.

My mood swings and it's driving me insane
My emotions fluctuate greatly, causing me to feel mentally unstable.

I just want to rest So I sleep the day away Just to wake up more depressed, my life's a mess
All I desire is to find peace, so I escape reality by sleeping, but when I wake up, I feel even more unhappy and my life feels chaotic.

I'm truly blessed but I can't best This boulder on my chest
Although I acknowledge my blessings, I am unable to overcome the heavy burden that weighs me down.

I think I want to die At least I don't want to live With these broken mental pathways making everything so big
I contemplate ending my life because I no longer have the desire to continue living with my distorted perception of reality.

I'm about to give up On everything in this world just so I can breathe again Just so I can breathe again
I am on the verge of surrendering and abandoning everything in my life in order to find relief and start afresh.

The state of my mind Is like a child left behind A fiend with many lines who broke his soul too many times His heart's gone blind
The condition of my mind resembles that of an abandoned child, a person addicted to harmful habits, who has wounded their soul repeatedly, resulting in a loss of emotional clarity.

She says I'll respect you when You're better than what I see, I need a better man Will I ever then She says
She tells me that she will only have respect for me when I can surpass her expectations and become a better person, leaving me uncertain if that will ever happen.

I said I'm sorry baby girl, and I know that it's the worst But Dada's got to go 'cause I can't shake the way it hurts
I express my apologies to my significant other, acknowledging the pain I have caused, but I realize that I must leave to heal myself as I am unable to overcome the emotional pain.

Just know that all the stars above and everything that's in the world is what you're worth
Understand that you are incredibly valuable, worthy of everything the universe has to offer.

Before I go, I'm sorry for, sorry for all of my ways This time for sure, I'm sorry for, sorry for all of this pain
Prior to my departure, I sincerely apologize for all the negative impact and pain my actions have caused.

Before I go, before I go
Just before I leave, right before I go.
