[Chorus]
In my head, it's hard to get around
Get so lost and now I'm taking all the backstreets
It's hard to figure out
Am I okay? 'Cause I'm the only one that's asking
No, I'll never get away
Breaking down in a high speed chase
Sometimes I feel like I'll never be okay
Yeah, no, I'll never get away, no, I'll never get away
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, no, I'll never get away, no, I'll never get away
Get so lost and now I'm taking all the backstreets
Uh, no, I'll never get away
No, I'll never get away, no, I'll never get away
Am I okay? 'Cause I'm the only one that's asking
Uh, no, I'll never get away
[Verse]
I'm losing all control
Don't let me down, just let me know
If it's way too much, just let me go
If it's way too much, just let me go
Just let me go
I know it's a lot to take and you can't handle this
Am I better off on my own?
I came from a lot of mistakes and I done messed up shit
But don't take it out on my soul
Don't wanna feel like this forever
Will I feel like this forever?
Don't wanna feel like this forever
Will I feel like this forever?
[Chorus]
In my head, it's hard to get around
Get so lost and now I'm taking all the backstreets
It's hard to figure out
Am I okay? 'Cause I'm the only one that's asking
No, I'll never get away
Breaking down in a high speed chase
Sometimes I feel like I'll never be okay
Yeah, no, I'm never getting away, no, I'm never getting away
[Bridge]
And now I feel honest
Sick to my stomach
Running away from everyone
Pushing a hundred
I can hear them all coming
Hope was the last thing that I want
[Chorus]
In my head, it's hard to get around
Get so lost and now I'm taking all the backstreets
It's hard to figure out
Am I okay? 'Cause I'm the only one that's asking
No, I'll never get away
Breaking down in a high speed chase
Sometimes I feel like I'll never be okay
Yeah, no, I'm never getting away, no, I'm never getting away
In my head, it's hard to get around
Get so lost and now I'm taking all the backstreets
It's hard to figure out
Am I okay? 'Cause I'm the only one that's asking
No, I'll never get away
Breaking down in a high speed chase
Sometimes I feel like I'll never be okay
Yeah, no, I'll never get away, no, I'll never get away

Once I got sober, I realized a lot of the problems I was dealing with when I was coping with drugs were surfacing even more, I felt like I could never get away. Dealing with anxiety and relationships magnified everything.
