The Middle
Me Lyrics

I can't think of getting old
The idea of aging terrifies me and makes me feel like I want to die.

It only makes me want to die
The thought of getting older is so unbearable that death seems like a better alternative.

And I can't think of who I was
Reflecting on my past self is too painful and makes me want to cry.

'Cause it just makes me want to cry, cry, cry
Thinking about my past self is so emotionally overwhelming that it brings me to tears.

Can't look back, can't look too far ahead
I understand that dwelling on the past or worrying too much about the future is unproductive.

I got the point, I got the message
I understand the importance of staying focused on the present and moving forward.

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
I feel like I'm stuck in a situation where I'm not sure which direction to move in.

I try to keep going but it's not that simple
I'm making an effort to move forward, but it's harder than I anticipated.

Gotta keep going or they'll call me a quitter
I feel pressure to keep pushing forward, otherwise I'll be seen as a failure or a quitter.

Yeah, I'm caught in the middle
I'm in a difficult situation where I feel like I'm not making progress and don't know what to do next.

I was dreaming life away
I spent so much time daydreaming and not taking action on my goals.

All the while just going blind
I was not aware of my surroundings or the consequences of my inaction.

Can't see the forest for the trees
I'm so focused on the details that I can't see the bigger picture.

Behind the lids of my own eyes
These problems are all in my head and I need to open up my mind to find a solution.

Nostalgia's cool, but it won't help me now
Feeling nostalgic about the past is nice, but it's not going to help me solve my current problems.

A dream is good (don't wear it out) if you don't wear it out
It's great to have dreams, but talking about them too much or not taking action can wear them out and make them seem less exciting or important.

No, I don't need no help
I don't need anyone else's assistance to sabotage myself.

I can sabotage me by myself
I'm capable of getting in my own way and hindering my own progress.

Don't need no one else
I don't need anyone else to sabotage myself, I'm perfectly capable on my own.

And I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
I still feel stuck and unsure of how to proceed.

I try to keep going but it's not that simple
Despite my best efforts, I'm still struggling to move forward.

Gotta keep going or they'll call me a quitter
The fear of being perceived as a failure is still motivating me to keep pushing forward.

Yeah I'm caught in the middle
I'm still in a difficult situation where progress is not easy to come by.

I'm caught in the middle
This is the overarching theme of the song - feeling stuck and unsure of how to proceed.
