(Verse 1)

I'm losing my sanity

I don't understand why you have to do things

A certain way to appeal to people like I just

Want to write songs about what I want to write about

But nobody cares about my music

Forever without you was a hit for me cause it was who I am

But it wasn't who you are or what you want

I'm writing to cope

And sometimes I stretch the truth in my lyrics

Just to make it sound better to your ears

But you know that's not who I am

Maybe someday I'll have some fans but that's not the plan

I've become attached to my songs

I play them in the car thinking over every little detail

About thе names of the songs

Beforе I put them in the wild and release them

(Hook)

I'm just trying to cope

I'm just trying to cope

(Verse 2)

I almost quit writing like twice now

Don't really know how I'm still going

I got a lot of old songs in my notebooks

That might come out soon, or might never

I got a lot of ideas, an ep about leftover pizza

Or maybe a mixtape of old instrumentals (hey this is one of those old ones)

They still sound the same

They all still sound the same

I put songs out I liked to see if anyone else would

I don't really think they sound good anymore

It's like I'm used to them now and know I can do better

I made a couple dollars from this

(Verse 3: supersonic)

I've carried this weight on my shoulders

It feels like I'm about to fall over

We used to fight for each other, now we just fight one another

I don't want to hurt my sisters and my brothers

It's like we build each other up to knock each other down

This cycle just goes round and round

Goes knife in the back and bandage you up

You're not really hurt come on get up

You can take it, you're strong and tough

I don't want your pity, and you guys wonder why I'm this way

We do the same stuff every day

I guess what I'm trying to say is

(Hook: statis)

I'm just trying to cope

I'm just trying to cope

Cope

I'm just trying to cope

I'm just trying to cope

I'm just trying to cope

I'm just trying to cope
