[Intro]
Why am I so damn lonely?
Am I the only one who feels this way?
Why am I so damn reckless?
I can't shake this
I'm not okay
[Verse 1]
And they say maybe I should learn a little thing about depression
Like crying to a stranger's gonna help me with progression
And I don't wanna take it, I don't wanna learn my lesson
All I really want is just the love and the affection
And they don't understand a single word that I am singing
All they wanna do is put me on some medication
It's hard for me to open up, it's hard for me to say shit
Writing all this music's like my form of meditation
[Pre-Chorus]
And ooh, ooh
They've come to take me away again
Take control of me and all my friends
I've got this feeling and I can't pretend
[Chorus]
Why am I so damn lonely?
Am I the only one who feels this way?
Why am I so damn reckless?
I can't shake this, I'm not okay
Why am I so damn lonely?
Am I the only one who feels this way?
Why am I so damn reckless?
I can't shake this, I'm not okay
[Verse 2]
So I thought, what's the point in trying if I cannot find a reason?
I'm lying to myself, I got a problem with believin'
Believing in the good, I know my face can be deceiving
'Cause I've been tryna hide it, I've been falling off the deep end
We're posting happy photos like we handle different faces
Ride and take me back to this from when we're on vacation
It doesn't help me feel this whole loneliness I'm facing
Like twenty likes a post supposed to be the one salvation
[Pre-Chorus]
And ooh, ooh
They've come to take me away again
Take control of me and all my friends
I've got this feeling and I can't pretend
[Chorus]
Why am I so damn lonely?
Am I the only one who feel this way?
Why am I so damn reckless?
I can't shake this, I'm not okay
Why am I so damn lonely?
Am I the only one who feel this way?
Why am I so damn reckless?
I can't shake this, I'm not okay, ooh, oh
Why am I so damn lonely?
Am I the only one who feels this way?
Why am I so damn reckless?
I can't shake this
I'm not okay
[Verse 1]
And they say maybe I should learn a little thing about depression
