[Verse 1]
I think we need to talk
And get some things off my chest
You've always been in control
Claiming that you know what's best
But since I've gotten older
I kind of wanna know what life's like minus you
Life's like minus you
[Chorus]
I got invited to a party, it's next week
And they've asked me if I could come alone
I've always wondered what I'm like when it's just me
What if I let them see me in a beanie
And a white tee, and oversized jeans?
Would they recognise me, mmm
Without my anxiety? (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
Without my anxiеty (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Just hear me out
Don't think I'm not scared of this too
I know it's always been mе and you
And I'm not kicking you out (I'm not kicking you out)
But since I've gotten older (Older, older)
I kind of wanna know what life's like minus you
Why do you always get to choose when I live here too?
[Chorus]
I got invited to a party, it's next week
And they've asked me if I could come alone
I've always wondered what I'm like when it's just me
What if I let them see me in a beanie
And a white tee, and oversized jeans?
Would they recognise me? Mmm
I got invited to a party, it's next week
And they've asked me if I could come alone
I've always wondered what I'm like when it's just me
What if I let them see me in a beanie
And a white tee, and oversized jeans?
Would they recognise me, mmm
Without my anxiety?
[Outro]
I can't wait to be
Without my anxiety
I can't wait to be
Without my anxiety
I can't wait to be
Without my anxiety
I can't wait to be
Without my anxiety
