[Verse 1]

Lately I've been overthinking

Lately I've been wrestling

With so many thoughts of depression

These suicidal suggestions

Maybe I'm the reason she left

I've been holding back these emotions

I'm settling every score

When I tell you this is the way that I feel

I wanted more than this, more than this

Lately I've been overthinking

Lately I've been struggling

With anxiety through the mention

Of trying to find a job

So the search continues on

Been serving rеsponsibility

To pay the bills I have

But thesе negative little things

Start to wear my soul down

I feel lost, I feel lost

Lately I've been overthinking

Maybe I should find the reason

For these mental health issues in my family tree

Don't I wish I had the choice to avoid these things

It's been a couple years coming, so we deal with the pain

And every decision is paired along with a chain

I never listened to wisdom, I saw my life in vain

And now the bitterness is still the only thing that remains

I'm tryna grow into a person they don't want me to be

When they start to see you change, they attack underneath

Everything you ever did, just to throw at your feet

Showing very little grace, hoping you don’t succeed

I wish I had it all together, but it's never what it seems

As I'm following the stars and I'm chasing my dreams

Tryna find my faith and everything in between

So maybe I can finally become what I believe

Overthinking


[Verse 2]

Lately I've been overthinking

And lately I've been drinking

To put away all the pain from the failures that I faced

Cause I'm tired of the rain and the things that I've done

You can't escape these drugs

But you can always try to run

But I promise the addiction

It'll always catch up to you, back to you

Lately I've been overthinking

Lately I've been stressing over

Every little thing you can name A to Z

I don't know if I should stay

But I probably should leave

I feel like everything around me is starting to fall

And just to be completely honest

I wish I would've called It's too late, it's too late

Lately I've been overthinking

Lately I've been overthinking

This is not the way I wish I could've lived

But I feel that I don't have another way

When I'm standing on that stage

All them lights on me

Spotlight so green, I'm so incomplete

I know the truth will never change

But it feels so weak

And if I have to give my all

You can count on me

I'm tryna grow into a person

They don't want me to be

When they start to see you change

They attack underneath

Everything you ever did

Just to throw at your feet

Showing very little grace

Hoping you don’t succeed

They used to tell me I was nothing

But I'm finally free

And it's a waste of my time

If I'm a care what you think

It took me three whole years

I made this album for me

I'm waiting on brighter days

I'm alive as can be

Overthinking
