[Verse 1]
If I could change your mind
Then I would for sure, no doubt
If I could take back time
Then I would reverse it now
I never asked to be here
But it ended up that way
When I look in the mirror
I can see you stare at me, mhm
[Chorus]
Now I feel like I'm broken
Now I feel like I'm choking
How I wish I was joking with you
[Verse 2]
If I could laugh through more
I know that it'd be good for me
It's such a task to ignore
All the things that they try to feed me
Every day, no escape
So much fake
Where's the shame?
Will this chain ever break?
'Cause
[Chorus]
Now I feel like I'm broken
Now I feel like I'm choking
How I wish I was joking with you
[Bridge]
I'm way too serious
But I've always been that way
Too serious
I never found time to play
And now, it's bringing me down
It's bringing you down too
Way too serious, I'm way too serious
You know, you know, you know
[Chorus]
Now I feel like I'm broken
I feel like I am broken down
Now I feel like I'm choking
I feel like I am choking out
How I wish I was joking
I feel like I am
With you
[Outro]
I feel like I am broken down
Now I feel like I'm broken
I feel like I am choking out
Now I feel like I'm choking
I feel like I am broken now
How I wish I was joking
(How I wish I, oh, how I wish I)
