[Verse 1]

You won't shut the fuck up

Social except that I forget to breathe sometimes

People want to talk to me 'bout my

Depression and anxiety, like I

Don't deal with it on the daily

Social except that I forget to be these lies

That people try to make of me, I hide

Behind my insecurities and lie

When people ask how I'm feeling


[Pre-Chorus]

I'm tired of taking advice

From people I don't even like

Your helping hands tied around my throat

But you like it when my life is in your stranglehold


[Chorus]

My life is in your stranglehold

But you like it when my life is in your stranglehold


[Verse 2]

Social except that I forget I need some time

So get the fuck away from me, my mind

Is locked, I threw away the key; don't pry

You might end up understanding

Social except that I forget to read these signs

That people try to make for me, my pride's

Too busy playing make-believe, and I

Really hope I don't go crazy (Crazy)


[Pre-Chorus]

I'm tired of taking advice

From people I don't even like

Your helping hands tied around my throat

But you like it when my life is in your stranglehold


[Chorus]

My life is in your stranglehold

But you like it when my life is in your stranglehold


[Bridge]

I can't live my life always thinking twice

I'm running in circles, I'm running in circles

I'm running in circles

I can't live my life always thinking twice

I'm running in circles, I'm running in circles

I'm running in circles


[Pre-Chorus 2]

We're tired of taking advice

From people we don't even like

Your helping hands tied around my throat

But you like it when my life is in your stranglehold


[Chorus]

My life is in your stranglehold

But you like it when my life is in your stranglehold
