Thinking Out Loud
Lesley Roy Lyrics

I've been losing my mind
Feeling like I'm going crazy and losing control of my thoughts and emotions.

I've been living a lie
Not being honest with myself or others about how I really feel or what I really want.

I've been running away for so long
Avoiding facing my problems and escaping from difficult situations instead of confronting them.

I try to put on a face
Putting up a front or pretending to be someone I'm not to avoid being vulnerable or judged.

And cover my heart
Protecting my true feelings and emotions from being exposed or hurt by others.

But I'm needing it now, so bad
Craving the release and relief that comes from expressing my true feelings and thoughts, even if it's scary or uncomfortable.

I don't know
Feeling confused and uncertain about my emotions and motivations.

How I feel
Not being able to identify or articulate my true emotions and thoughts.

Maybe I'm mad
Wondering if my intense emotions are justified or if I'm overreacting.

Or maybe I'm proud
Feeling confident and strong in my beliefs and actions, even if they are different or controversial.

Can't find the truth
Struggling to understand what is real and what is just my perception or interpretation of reality.

Can't speak my mind
Feeling unable or unwilling to express my true thoughts and feelings to others.

Don't know what I say
Feeling unsure of how to communicate my thoughts and feelings in a clear and effective way.

I'm just thinking out loud
Processing my thoughts and emotions by speaking them out loud, even if they don't make sense or are contradictory.

No, no I can't explain
Feeling unable to justify or explain my emotions and behavior to myself or others.

What's happened to me
Feeling like something has changed or shifted in my perspective or emotions, but not knowing what or why.

I feel like I'm right and wrong
Being torn between conflicting emotions and thoughts, and feeling like there is no clear answer or solution.

Inside everything's upside down
Feeling disoriented and confused about my emotions and thoughts, and unsure of how to make sense of them.

Everything spinning around
Feeling overwhelmed and dizzy by the intensity and complexity of my emotions and thoughts.

And it's freaking me out
Feeling scared and overwhelmed by the intensity of my emotions and the confusion around them.

If only for a day
Imagining a temporary escape or respite from my emotional turmoil and confusion.

I could be free
Feeling trapped and restricted by my emotions and thoughts, and wanting to break free and feel more open and spontaneous.

I'll bet you'll feel the same
Assuming or hoping that others can relate to my emotional struggles and understand what I'm going through.

If you were me
Encouraging empathy and understanding from others by inviting them to imagine themselves in my shoes.

I'm gonna scream it out
Releasing my pent-up emotions and frustrations by expressing them in a powerful and vocal way.

Just let go!
Encouraging myself (and perhaps others) to release any restraints or inhibitions and allow my emotions to flow freely.
