[Chorus]

Sometimes, I'm scared of being honest

I say, I'm fine

And that's the way I get in trouble

I try

But I try

Oh, I try

And make sure everything is always alright

And that's the way I get in trouble

Last night, for once I think I thought about me

I thought about me

Oh


[Verse 1]

Maybe I'm selfish with things that I want

Maybe I'm tired of no answers from God

Maybe I think that I'm telling the truth

But the truth is I'm selling the lies that I bought

Looking for answers, I know that's in front of me

Getting excuses before an apology

Negligence is made from living so comfortably

Somеthing's gotta change, or honesty's costing me

How much can I givе? How much can I try?

How much can I hurt? How much can I lie?

How much did I live while I'm still alive?

How much did I feel before I said I'm fine?

Lots of excuses, control my perception, I know that's so useless

What am I pursuing?

Am I happy or not, like what am I doing? I


[Pre-Chorus]

Lie to myself, yeah

I lie to myself just so I can save feelings of everyone else

Not be a burden, just one that can help

As long as you're fine, who cares how I felt?

And that's what's been eating me

Working on freeing me

Walking contradiction, what I've been seen to be

Healing everyone is what has been killing me

Time that I tell you that


[Chorus]

Sometimes, I'm scared of being honest

I say, I'm fine

And that's the way I get in trouble

I try

But I try

Oh, I try

And make sure everything is always alright

And that's the way I get in trouble

Last night, for once I think I thought about me

I thought about me

Oh


[Verse 2]

Honestly scared to be honest, I've done many things I'm not proud of

I run from the crowd that just cares who's the hottest on Billboard

Don't let me get caught up in places I don't want a part of, I

Struggle to balance my life with impression

All of the money and tension

Vampires every direction

Don't be surprised, how many count all your blessings?

My therapist told me that

I shouldn't be living as everyone's hero

My therapist told me that

It's okay to say no, even though I can't bear to

I know where my weakness at

If I focused on me, it could all be so simple

These thoughts in my head, if they just could be gentle

If showin' my feelings could just be less stressful, 'cause


[Chorus]

Sometimes, I'm scared of being honest

I say, I'm fine

And that's the way I get in trouble

I try

But I try

Oh
