I got everything I ever wanted,
But not the way that I expected.
I looked everywhere that I was walking,
But never really paid attention.
I put in the work too much,
But life's more than an occupation.
Pretty sure I lost touch,
But it wasn't from the medication.
If only I knew it would take time,
To laugh at jokes without a punchline.
I took myself too seriously,
To be someone else when I coulda' been me.
My heart dwelled on the littlest things,
'Cause I took myself too seriously.
I got everything I ever needed,
Said it was enough, but I didn't mean it.
I looked everywhere for all the answers,
But they never even really mattered.

I took myself too seriously,
To be someone else when I coulda' been me.
My heart dwelled on the littlest things,
'Cause I took myself too seriously.
I put on quite a show,
Stuck to the script I wrote,
The funny part was thinking I could make it on my own.
