[Verse 1]
I've been staring at the stars
I've been driving in my car
I've been tryna find some meaning
I've been blocking all the calls
I've been staring at the wall
I've been tryna fight this feeling
[Pre-Chorus]
What if it's all my fault?
Maybe I'm the problem
Every time I think you're gone
You show up without a warning
(Without a warning, without a warning, without a warning)
[Chorus]
Every time I think I'm ready
I know you start to second-guess me
And I hate the way you hold me
Back from every single moment
Every time I think I'm happy
I know you come back up and grab me
Maybe I could've been somebody
If you didn't always stop me
[Verse 2]
I've been calling in sick
I know they see through it
Yeah, it's thе way I'm dealing
I've been talking myself out
I'vе been trying to calm down
Tryna fight that feeling
[Pre-Chorus]
What if it's all my fault?
Maybe I'm the problem
Every time I think you're gone
You show up without a warning
(Without a warning, without a warning, without a warning)
[Chorus]
Every time I think I'm ready
I know you start to second-guess me
And I hate the way you hold me
Back from every single moment
Every time I think I'm happy
I know you come back up and grab me
Maybe I could've been somebody
If you didn't always stop me
[Bridge]
And I hate you
Even though I know you so well
But I need you
'Cause I've never known anything else
And I hate you
Even though I know you so well
But I need you
'Cause l've never known anything else
[Chorus]
Every time I think I'm ready
I know you start to second-guess me
And I hate the way you hold me
Back from every single moment
Every time I think I'm happy
I know you come back up and grab me
Maybe I could've been somebody
If you didn't always stop me
[Post-Chorus]
I'm gonna make it happen, I know
I'm gonna be so happy, I know
I might be somebody
And I'm not gonna let you stop me (Yeah)
I'm gonna make it happen, I know
I'm gonna be so happy, I know
I might be somebody
And I'm not gonna let you stop me (Yeah)
[Outro]
I'm gonna make it happen, I know
I'm gonna be so happy

This is a song I wrote about talking to myself when the darker part of me creeps back in and takes over.
