[Intro]
Mmm
Hey, yeah
Hmm, here’s my story see
[Verse 1]
I’ve been grown since I was twelve years old
I been runnin’ sine then but just recently a took a tumble, uh oh
My cookie crumbled (Alright, alright, alright)
See, I was talkin’ to my therapist
She said, “Girl get a grip”
But I think she’s tryna burst my bubble, uh oh
I’m in trouble (Alright, alright, alright)
[Chorus]
You can’t be
This ain’t me
I’m supposed to be happy
All the time
So I’m fine
No I’m not about to cry
There’s just something in my eye
[Post-Chorus]
I’d rather be sad than faking toxic positivity
Feelings ain’t so bad and maybe it’s a sign of the times
What you feeling baby, feel it with your chest
How you feeling baby, do you feel it yet?
I’d rather bе mad than faking toxic positivity
I get through the low so I can reach straight back to thе high
What you feeling baby, feel it with your chest
How you feeling baby, do you feel it yet?
[Verse 2]
My rose-colored optimism states that life is what you make it but honestly it’s been a struggle, uh oh
Working double, oh, no, no, no
It’s okay not to be A-OK
Ain’t that what people say
‘Cause I think that its mumbo jumbo, uh oh
I feel like I’m going insane (Alright, alright, alright)
[Chorus]
You can’t be
This ain’t me
I’m supposed to be happy
All the time
So I’m fine
No I’m not about to cry
There’s just something in my eye
[Post-Chorus]
I’d rather be sad than faking toxic positivity
Feelings ain’t so bad and maybe it’s a sign of the times
What you feeling baby, feel it with your chest
How you feeling baby, do you feel it yet?
I’d rather be mad than faking toxic positivity
I get through the low so I can reach straight back to the high
What you feeling baby, feel it with your chest
How you feeling baby, do you feel it yet?
