My mind’s all over the place again,
Racing thoughts that never end,
Smiling out loud but inside I bend,
I’m losing myself, trying to pretend.
Everybody says, “You’re doing fine,”
But they don’t see the war in my mind,
It’s like a storm that hides behind,
This calm I wear like a thin disguise.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Something in me whispers low,
“Ssshhh… don’t let nobody know,”
But my heart’s breaking under the show,
I can’t keep holding it alone.
⸻
[Chorus]
Ahhh, why am I like this?
Fighting the shadows I can’t dismiss,
Lord, come to my heart, I’m on my knees,
Kick whatever’s inside that’s haunting me.
Take the pain, take the fear I hide,
Tear down the walls I built inside,
I’m tired of lying that I’m fine,
When I’m lost in my own mind.
⸻
[Verse 2]
I laugh, I joke, I play my part,
But silence echoes in my heart,
The mirror shows a worn-out face,
Still searching for a sacred place.
Every “I’m okay” feels like a lie,
Tears stay locked when I wanna cry,
There’s a voice that says, “Just hold it in,”
But it’s drowning me deep within.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Something in me whispers low,
“Ssshhh… don’t let nobody know,”
But Lord, I can’t take this alone,
I need Your love to guide me home.
⸻
[Chorus]
Ahhh, why am I like this?
Fighting the shadows I can’t dismiss,
Lord, come to my heart, I’m on my knees,
Kick whatever’s inside that’s haunting me.
Take the pain, take the fear I hide,
Tear down the walls I built inside,
I’m tired of lying that I’m fine,
When I’m lost in my own mind.
⸻
[Bridge]
Pull me out of this silent war,
Heal the wounds I can’t ignore,
Let Your light flood every door,
I’m ready, Lord — I can’t take more.
⸻
[Chorus – Final]
Ahhh, why am I like this?
Fighting the shadows I can’t dismiss,
Lord, come to my heart, I’m on my knees,
Kick whatever’s inside that’s haunting me.
Take the pain, take the fear I hide,
Let Your love be my peace tonight,
No more pretending I’m just fine —
With You, I’ll heal inside my mind.
⸻
[Outro]
Yeah, my mind’s been all over the place,
But I feel Your mercy, I feel Your grace,
Whatever’s been hiding deep inside,
You’re breaking its chains tonight.
