Found a good way to pass for fine Here in the corner of my mind Simply say "Yeah, I'm all right" Maybe underthink this time So I've practiced and I've tried To keep the ugly stuff inside Keep my distance miles wide And my truths half when I like So when I said "I don't hate myself I guess I'm just tired and overwhelmed" At least I'm glad I finally said something I felt But is there something I can not say To unaddress the things we can't change These fighting words could use a rephrase Present the past but in a new way Turns out I was watering the weeds Hoping to root the good in me But growth's no good with no good seed I'm here just long enough to leave So when I said "I don't hate myself I guess I'm just tired and overwhelmed" At least I'm glad I finally said something I felt Cause what I meant It's not that leaving doesn't hurt But you're the subject of that verb The better that things go the more I'm gone But that can stay unheard
