[Verse 1]

Well here I go

Putting my health back out of reach

Forcing myself to blame anxiety

For being a shitty friend

One more time

One more cigarette won't hurt me

I think I'll watch another movie

Clearly I am having trouble learning

And I don't know

What you're asking for

I found your t shirt in my drawer

And I miss you

But I know I shouldn't

[Chorus]

Mostly I'm just overwhelmed by stress

But I swear to you I've been trying my best

[Verse 2]

I am scared of every question you ask

I've been drinking too much water

And I can't seem to hear a word you say

Breathing deeply doesn't help

I wish that I was somewhere else

Getting high or feeling alive

[Chorus]

Mostly I'm just overwhelmed by stress

But I swear to you I've been trying my best

Sorry is the hardest word to say

You're not a painter unless you decide to paint

[Verse 3]

I'll go home

Tell my friends I feel alone

I hate my job

I miss my family and my dog

And honestly I don't know what to say

Cause all of my words are stale anyway

I don't think you should call me back

[Chorus]

Mostly I'm just overwhelmed by stress

But I swear to you I've been trying my best

Sorry is the hardest word to say

You're not a painter unless you decide to paint
