[Verse 1]
Feelings, oh, why can't I just feel them?
I keep them and never let them go
This evening, I'll ponder on my meaning
And I mean it, I'll never let it go
[Pre-Chorus]
Look, I don't have the energy
I gave it all away to my problems
So exhausted mentally
I could run away, but that's trouble too
So I don't know what to do
'Cause I don't want to
[Chorus]
Find a million situations to get stressed about
And it's probably gonna be fine, I don't wanna overthink this much
My God, what a waste of emotion
If it's gonna be
If it's gonna be fine
Find a million explanations in that simple sign
I don't wanna waste time on thinkin' I could change what's down the line
My God, what a waste of emotion
If it's gonna be
If it's gonna be fine
[Verse 2]
Function, oh, why can't I just function?
Yeah, I struggle my way around this room, mmm
[Pre-Chorus]
Look, I don't have the energy
I gave it all away to my problems
So exhausted mentally
I could run away, but that's trouble too
So I don't know what to do
'Cause I don't want to
[Chorus]
Find a million situations to get stressed about
And it's probably gonna be fine, I don't wanna overthink this much
My God, what a waste of emotion
If it's gonna be
If it's gonna be fine
Find a million explanations in that simple sign
I don't wanna waste time on thinkin' I could change what's down the line
My God, what a waste of emotion
If it's gonna be
If it's gonna be fine
[Outro]
If it's gonna be
If it's gonna be
If it's gonna be, yeah
If it's gonna be fine
