Jackson Krecioch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still growing up
Feel this way
This pressure and anxiety
Is killing me
It's killing me
I'd change
But lately I've been missing you
This pressure and anxiety
Is killing me
It's killing me
Sometimes
It's okay to be afraid
Sometimes
I still miss the little things
Oh I
Never knew it would be this way
Put a smile on my face
Just to make it through the day
Yeah
Oh I
I hope you're proud of who I am
I tried my best
I'm just a man
Anxiety keeps creeping in
It's creeping in
Yeah
Sometimes
It's okay to be afraid
Sometimes
I still miss the little things
Oh I
Never knew it would be this way
Put a smile on my face
Just to make it through the day
Yeah
It's killing me
Why does coming home not feel the same?
Just wishing I could see your face
This pressure and anxiety
Is killing me
It's killing me
Sometimes
It's okay to be afraid
Sometimes
I still miss the little things
Oh I
Never knew it would be this way
Put a smile on my face
Just to make it through the day
Sometimes
It's okay to be afraid
Sometimes
I still miss the little things
Oh I
Never knew it would be this way
Put a smile on my face
Just to make it through the day
Yeah
It's killing me
(Oh, yeah, oh yeah)
