Bootstraps

I cannot lose my sight or my head

When my balance is gone and I fall off the edge

It seems clear that you don't understand

How much damage was done from the words that you said

Oh

Anxiety is a hole in my head

Dirt won't fill it up, I lay my body down instead

Two thumbs up on the side of the road

Sun is getting cold, I ain't got nobody to hold

I'm falling past the wayside, you won't even spare a glance

Lift yourself up from the bootstraps

Easy to say 'cause you've got bootstraps

Oh Mama, oh hey, I'm not worried 'bout tomorrow

I'm too worried 'bout today

Oh Mama, oh hey, I overthink things in my head

And care too much what people think, yeah

Oh

Overwhelmed, feeling heavy on my chest

Tripped up one more time, so you took away my rest

Caught that glare in the corner of your eyes

Too much on my plate, I'd rather roll over and die

I'm falling past the wayside, you won't even spare a glance

Lift yourself up from the bootstraps

Easy to say 'cause you've got bootstraps

Oh Mama, oh hey, I'm not worried 'bout tomorrow

I'm too worried 'bout today

Oh Mama, oh hey, I overthink things in my head

And care too much what people think, yeah, yeah

Care what people think, whoa

Oh, I care, I care, I care what people think

In my head, in my head, oh

Care what people think

I'm falling past the wayside, you won't even spare a glance

Lift yourself up from the bootstraps

Easy to say 'cause you've got bootstraps
