How I Feel
Original TV Soundtrack Lyrics

I know how this all must look
I understand that my life appears perfect and easy from the outside

Like a picture ripped from a story book
That's how ideal and picture-perfect my life appears to others

I've got it easy
My life is privileged and comfortable

I've got it made
Everything is going great for me

I've got a golden road laid out before me
I have a life of certainty and success ahead of me

And everyone how they adore
Everyone loves me and what I do

Like a diamond
My life shines brighter than most

In the sun
My life glows brightly in the spotlight

Did you just waste your breath
Are you really asking me how I feel or are you just trying to make conversation?

Asking me how I feel today
Inquiring about my emotional state at this moment

Or do you really want to know
Are you genuinely interested in my well-being?

I'm completely unconnected
I feel alone and detached from others

Constantly rejected
I am used to being turned down and not being accepted by others

Like everything I've ever loved is coming down
Everything and everyone that I've cared for seems to be slipping through my fingers

I'm drowning in emotion
My emotions are overwhelming and suffocating me

In the middle of the ocean
I feel lost and isolated like I'm in the middle of the sea with no direction

Never knowing when it's over and I'm going down
I am uncertain about my future and worried that I might not be able to handle everything

I know I signed up for this game
I chose to be in the public eye and accepted the responsibilities that come with it

And everybody knows my name
My fame has made me a recognizable icon

Now they own a little piece of me
My fans and the public have a sense of entitlement to my life and a part of who I am

My happiness fell off the track
I have lost sight of what makes me happy and fulfilled

And I'd do anything to get it back
I'm willing to go to great lengths to regain my happiness

Give this all, I'd give it all all away
I would trade my fame and success to find happiness once again

Is that a place you wanna go
Do you really want to dive deep into my emotional state right now?

Then you see me
When people see me in the public eye

You say you don't even know me
People think they know me, but in reality, they only know what I show them

Couldn't pick me out of a line now
I'm not as recognizable as people might think

The girl you know is so far-gone
People have an image of me that is different from who I truly am

And I'm in hiding
I feel the need to hide my true emotions and feelings

Living life undercover
I'm careful to not show the world my true self

Smiling face for the camera
I put on a happy face for the camera despite what I am feeling inside

I'm not long for this world
I feel like I'm on the brink of breaking down or hitting rock bottom

That's how I feel
This is the overwhelming emotion that I am currently experiencing
