[Intro]
Mmm, may—
Mmm, may—
[Verse 1]
Since I was 17
I’ve always hated my body
And it feels like my body’s hated me
Can somebody find me a pill
To make me un-afraid of me?
[Pre-Chorus]
Seen every therapist, but I’m a cynical bitch
Don’t like to talk about my feelings
I take another hit, I find another fake fix
‘Cause it’s easier than healing
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna be this way forever
Keep telling myself that I’ll get better
Every time I try, I always stop me
Maybe I’m just scared to be happy
[Post-Chorus]
Mmm, may—
[Verse 2]
Since I was 22
I’ve been with somebody who loves me
And I’ve been tryna believe it’s true, mmm
But my head always messes up my heart
No matter what I do
[Pre-Chorus]
Seen every therapist, but I’m a cynical bitch
Don’t like to talk about my feelings
I take another sip, I swear it’s my last fix
‘Cause it’s easier than healing
[Chorus]
'Cause I don’t wanna be this way forever
Keep telling myself that I’ll get better
Every time I try, I always stop me
Maybe I’m just scared to be happy
I don’t wanna be this way forever
Keep telling myself that I’ll get better
Every time I try, I always stop me
Maybe I’m just scared to be happy
[Post-Chorus]
Mmm, maybe I'm just scared to be happy
Mmm, maybe I'm just scared to be happy
[Bridge]
I’m so scared of having something to lose
I’m scared of being somebody new
I’m so scared of all them seeing the truth
‘Cause right now I’ve got nothing
[Chorus]
But I don’t wanna be this way forever
Keep telling myself that I’ll get better
Every time I try, I always stop me
Maybe I’m just scared to be happy
[Post-Chorus]
Mmm, maybe I'm just scared to be happy (Maybe, yeah)
Mmm, maybe I'm, I'm scared to be happy
