Caught Up
Keepitinside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was just depressed and somehow didn′t notice
Maybe it was just another day I couldn't function
See you when I wake up
I don′t wanna deal with this
How do you do it?
How do you care?
I just wanna feel motivated in my head
Living in my dreams, ya
Nothing in between
Tell me that you see me
'Cause I stopped believin'
Why did all that time go wasted on me?
I just wanna be medicated from my head
Tell me what to do now
So, what′s the next step?
Is it a secret? Shh
I′m breaking apart
But you're not gonna see it
And I promise, I′m not begging for attention
Honest, I just needed you to listen
Break up, 'cause I can′t make a decision
Fucked up, but I don't want it
I′m don't wanna lie
I'm not gonna mean it
Look me in the eyes
Baby don′t say it
I′m a disappointment
I'm a late notice
Feeling like a waste
′Cause I can't keep fucking
Baby don′t go
Baby don't leave
I don′t feel less when I hear you calling
Is it too late for a comet
I just wanna wish
I just wanna
Tell me, how do you do it?
How do you care?
So many options, but no way there
I just wanna feel motivated (in my head)
Living in my dreams, ya
Nothing in between
Yea, so, tell me that you see me
'Cause I stopped believin'
Why did all that time go wasted on me?
I just wanna be medicated from my head
Tell me what to do now
How do you do it?
How do you care?
So many options, but no way there
I just wanna feel motivated in my head
Living in my dreams, ya
Nothing in between
Tell me that you see me
′Cause I stopped believin′
Why did all that time go wasted on me?
I just wanna be medicated from my head
Tell me what to do now
