[Verse 1]

Yo, yo, yo, yo

If I told you my story you'd probably laugh at me

I been pushed to the side more times than a bad habit

Since I was younger I couldn't bring myself up to speak

So I sat back and acted like the shit ain't bother me

But deep inside in my heart and my soul

I couldn't stand it, couldn't bear it man I felt so alone

I was a shy kid, all I wanted was to be seen

By somebody, anybody, that was my only dream

I know it sounds pathetic but put yourself in my shoes

Crying out for attention but no one notices you

And the only time they look for you is so they could vent

Then expect you to comfort them and console 'em and shit

But they would nеver notice deep down, I feel like I'm dying

All thе time that I spent in my room, all alone crying

Pick myself up, I gotta keep it together

If I don't weather the storm, who's gonna storm the Weather


[Chorus]

Sometimes it feels like I'm holding the whole world on my shoulders

And if I let it go then the whole world will be over

Everyone's counting on me to keep up this persona

But if I'm pushed any further I may lose my composure


[Verse 2]

Look

I been called a pushover so many days

I began to answer to the shit like it was my name

But understand, in my mind if I spoke I would change

The dynamics of the friendships I worked so hard to gain

So I'd avoid confrontation

For fear of the mayhem

I would cause if my jaws start obliterating

Backed up as shit

Like cum in a dick

The way that would spray out who wouldn't get hit

So I keep it inside and my heart starts racing

But to everyone else I just come off patient

In reality my soul's living in hell

Inside the cell of my mind, no one can ever find

Is it too late to change?

Am I just stuck in my ways?

Feel like I buried myself under a world of pain

I'm responsible for the feelings I'm holding below

I just hope I don't cause chaos if I bring them afloat


[Chorus]

Sometimes it feels like I'm holding the whole world on my shoulders

(Whole world on my shoulders)

And if I let it go then the whole world will be over

(Whole world will be over)

Everyone's counting on me to keep up this persona

(Keep up this persona)

But if I'm pushed any further I may lose my composure

(I may lose my composure)


[Bridge]

All the pain it's causing me

To keep inside my energy

Took me way too long to see

But it's time to face reality

All the people that I hurt

Understand that this ain't personal

Please accept my apology

But it's time for me to live for me


[Chorus]

Sometimes it feels like I'm holding the whole world on my shoulders

(Whole world on my shoulders)

And if I let it go then the whole world will be over

(Whole world will be over)

Everyone's counting on me to keep up this persona

(Keep up this persona)

But if I'm pushed any further I may lose my composure

(I may lose my composure, my composure, my composure)

[Chorus, Bridge]

Sometimes it feels like I'm

All the pain it's causing me

Holding the whole world on my shoulders

To keep inside my energy

(I may lose my composure, my composure, my composure)

And if I let it go then the

Took me way too long to see

Whole world will be over

But it's time to face reality

(I may lose my composure, my composure, my composure)

Everyone's counting on me

All the people that I hurt

To keep up this persona

Understand that this ain't personal

(I may lose my composure, my composure, my composure)

But if I'm pushed any further

Please accept my apology

I may lose my composure

But it's time for me to live for me
