Anxiety

On the surface, everything's just fine

But nervous doesn't describe what's goin' on behind these eyes

It's just too easy to fake a smile

But you got my heartbeat on repeat

Goin' 'bout a hundred thousand miles

My mind's racin', but I could never outrun you

You're two steps ahead, while I'm trippin' over my shoes

A-N-X-I-E-T-Y

No matter how hard I try

You will never leave

Yeah, yeah, I

H-A-T-E-Y-O-U

And all the stupid things you do

I give in so easily

You get the best of me

You get the best of me

I wish I could just let you go

But the truth is, you are all I've ever known

You're an infection, the medicine just numbs my brain

I'm doing anything and everything to feel normal again

What's normal again?

'Cause my mind's racin', but I could never outrun you

You're two steps ahead, while I'm trippin' over my shoes

My mind's racin', but I could never outrun you

Playin' games with me that I will always lose, ooh

(Playin' games, playin' games that I will always lose)

A-N-X-I-E-T-Y

No matter how hard I try

You will never leave

Hey, yeah, I

H-A-T-E-Y-O-U

And all the stupid things you do

I give in so easily

You get the best of me, no

You get the best of me, of me, of me

It's crazy, my thoughts start racin'

And my mind's erasing everything I knew

It's just pills and therapy bills

Just to keep me away from you

And it works for a little while, bullshit smiles

But I'm just walking through the motions

Either that, or losin' track of my emotions

Four a.m. panic attacks, taking red eyes back home

I feel by myself, but with you, I'm never alone, damn

A-N-X-I-E-T-Y

No matter how hard I try

You will never leave
