anxiety gets the best of me


walking down the street

with the scars on my knees

looking straight ahead of me

 

walking to my car

it’s really not that far

why is it so hard to… breathe


running down the street

trying to make it away

so i can be alone in the solitude of my ride

 

running down the street

people watching me

whys she running???

 

i made it here

now i don't know where to go

my heart is racing

my mind's going so slow

i don't wanna go home

i don't want to stay here

i don't know what to do

cause there's really nothing to fear


my anxieties getting the best of me

running through veins

making it hard to breathe

anxiety always getting the best of me

running through my veins

making it hard to breathe

 

i turn on… the engine

i put my foot on the gas

i really wanna drive home fast

but i can’t catch my breath

(...)


Anxiety always getting the best of me

Running through my veins

Making it hard to breathe

I hope one day I’ll be okay

But that day just isn’t today


I don’t know what’s going on in my brain

There's nothing i can do or say


I’m alone in solitude

And everyone thinks im just being rude

Its my anxiety i swear

You may not see it but it's really there


Anxiety always getting the best of me

Running through my veins

Making it hard to breathe

Anxiety always getting the best of me

Running through my veins

Making it hard to breathe


Driving my car down the road

There's nothing i can do

I wish i was in someone's arms

But i fucked that up too


Anxiety always getting the best of me

Running through my veins

Making it hard to breathe


There's nothing i can do or say

I’d have it any other way


I’m home in solitude

And everyone thinks im just being rude

I don't talk to my friends anymore

Why? I’m not really sure


Anxiety always getting the best of me

Running through my veins

Making it hard to breathe


I want someone to lay in their arms

But i fcuked that up too

My anxiety was worse with him

Cause i didn't trust him too

Past experiences hurting me

Now i just have my anxiety

Together as one

I swear were not in love

Cause i wish i could change myself

I wanna be anyone else


Anxiety always getting the best of me

Running through my veins

Making it hard to breathe

Nothing i can do or say

I’d rather have it any other way


I’m sorry mom and dad

For all the money i’ve cost you

I swear it may not look like i’m okay


But she may be helping me

With what she has to say


Sorry mom and dad

For all the money i’ve cost you

Maybe she has a magical way for me

To cure my anxiety
