Lyrics

I'm waking up my mind I'm just trying to kill the silence I'm ripping off the blinds I'm just trying to let some light in But I've been on the road I've been missing home See it on my phone that the world back there Keep spinning 'round without me I'm waking up my mind I'm ripping off the blinds Oh I (Oh I) Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes But life (But life) Just seems to happen right before my eyes 'Cause I feel like I'm not there 'Cause my head is up somewhere Far away from all my friends I just want that back again Oh I (Oh I) Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes It's hard sometimes But when I come off cold I'm not doing it on purpose You caught me in a hole That I dig for myself when I'm nervous I've been on the road I've been missing home See it on my phone that my friends back there Got inside jokes without me Oh, woah Don't mean to come off cold I don't want to be alone Oh I (Oh I) Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes (Hard sometimes) But life (But life) Just seems to happen right before my eyes (Before my eyes) 'Cause I feel like I'm not there 'Cause my head is up somewhere Far away from all my friends I just want that back again Oh I (Oh I) Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes (Hard sometimes) I don't feel like myself and I can't help being selfish Sometimes the pressure gets the best of me Oh I, oh I Oh I Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes But life Just seems to happen, it's just passing by, oh 'Cause I feel like I'm not there 'Cause my head is up somewhere Far away from all my friends I just want that back again Oh I (Oh I) Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes (Hard sometimes) 'Cause it's hard sometimes
