Lyrics

I'm already planning my exit
Before I ever walk through the door
Tired, hopeless, and apathetic
Anything I do these days feels like a chore
I don't want to die, but I can't live like this
Smiling through this secret depression
While losing the battle inside of my mind
If you could see my hidden expression
You'd know that I'm not when I say that I'm fine, I'm fine
If you try calling, I probably won't answer
I'll be getting drunk on my couch all alone
Burning all my bridges with reckless abandon
Scrolling through these toxic streams on my phone
And yeah, I know I should try, but I don't feel like it
Smiling through this secret depression
While losing the battle inside of my mind
If you could see my hidden expression
You'd know that I'm not when I say that I'm fine
I'm just so tired of pretending everything will be alright
This pressure is never-ending, every day's a war but I
Smiling through this secret depression
While losing the battle inside of my mind
If you could see my hidden expression
You'd know that I'm not when I say that I'm fine
You'd know that I'm not when I say that I'm fine
You'd know that I'm not when I say that I'm fine
