[Verse 1]
I've gotten heavy
Nobody wanna hold me up
Ain't asking for help
I'm stubborn and I know myself
I've gotten heavy
Nobody wanna hold me up
Ain't asking for help
I should be strong enough to do it myself
[Pre-Chorus]
But I haven't slept in weeks, not a wink
It must be all the drink
Yeah, it keeps me up, makes me think too much, too deep
I'm too young to feel this shit
I wonder how long I can hold my breath
(One, two, three, four)
[Chorus]
I think the sky looks pretty
Even though the weather's shitty
I bet you right now that behind all the clouds are blue
I'm telling you
I think there's hope up there for mе
Maybe I can finally meet Amy
Just gotta get out of this old city
[Verse 2]
Trying to relax
Kick back, put on thе TV
Gave up on myself
Started writing my CV
Jackie didn't help
She's always talking money this and money that
Get a job instead of sitting ‘round and getting fat
[Pre-Chorus]
I haven't slept in weeks, not a wink
It must be all the drink
Yeah, it keeps me up, makes me think too much, too deep
I'm too young to feel this shit
I wonder how long I can hold my breath
(One, two, three, four)
[Chorus]
I think the sky looks pretty
Even though the weather's shitty
I bet you right now that behind all the clouds are blue
I'm telling you
I think there's hope up there for me
Maybe I can finally meet Amy
Just gotta get out of this old city
[Bridge]
What's meant to be will be
If I go under, don't save me
I'm not afraid
No, I'm not afraid
‘Cause I bet I'll get played
Better get paid
Send it to my mama and my family estate
Hit a billion plays
Label gets paid from another dead singer
But now you know my name
[Chorus]
I think the sky looks pretty
Even though the weather's shitty
I bet you right now that behind all the clouds are blue
I'm telling you
I think there's hope up there for me
Maybe I can finally meet Amy
Just gotta get out of this old city
[Outro]
Got to get out
Got to get out
Don't wanna be here anymore

An October 2020 Clash article quotes Ingram saying:
This world has been a really ugly place recently and I’m ready to move somewhere far far away. When I was writing heavy I wasn’t thinking about moving to a new city, I was quite honestly thinking about dying. Packing my bags and heading up to the...
