[Verse 1]
Yesterday, I thought that I was gonna die
Everythin' I love flashing before my eyes
And in the middle was a shot of you
Now I know just what I gotta do
Everythin' that I could never say
[Chorus]
I've been hallucinatin', baby, baby, you can save me
From myself
'Cause lately, shit's been crazy, hard to say that
I'm unwell
I know you think that I've been doin' fine
But you should see the other guy
He needs some help
Can't do this by yourself
[Post-Chorus]
(Mmm-mmm-mmm)
(Mmm-mmm-mmm)
Can't do this by yourself
[Verse 2]
Every day feels like another roll of dice
It could be good, it could be bad, it could be fine
All I know is when I spoke to you
I felt like I had the strength of two
It's gonna be alright, alright
[Chorus]
I've been hallucinatin', baby, baby, you can save me
From myself
'Cause lately, shit's been crazy, hard to say that
I'm unwell
I know you think that I've been doin' fine
But you should see the other guy
He needs some help
Can't do this by yourself
[Post-Chorus]
(Mmm-mmm-mmm)
(Mmm-mmm-mmm)
Can't do this by yourself
(Mmm-mmm-mmm)
(Mmm-mmm-mmm)
Can't do this by yourself
[Verse 3]
So today I think I'm gonna be alright
My brother and I laugh until we start to cry
It's like our mother taught us to
Can't keep that shit inside of you
You're gonna be just fine
[Chorus]
I've been hallucinatin', baby, baby, you can save me
From myself
'Cause lately, shit's been crazy, hard to say that
I'm unwell
No more pretendin' that you're doin' fine
'Cause you ain't got a thing to hide
We all need some help
Can't do this by yourself
[Post-Chorus]
(Mmm-mmm-mmm) Oh
(Mmm-mmm-mmm)
Can't do this by yourself

My mom has been through a whole lot with her mental health and she like a couple of years ago gave me the green-light to kinda sing and write about it.
For such a heavy subject matter, it was a really fun one to create because we wanted to put that kind of spin on i...
