Verse 1
You say I’m dramatic—okay, say it again
Like that’s gonna fix what’s under my skin
Like I woke up today and chose to feel this
Like I’m not already fighting through it
You don’t hear it—you don’t see it
You don’t feel the way I feel it
It’s too loud and I can’t mute it
And you stand there like I choose this
⸻
Pre-Chorus
It’s building, it’s building, it’s building too fast
I’m trying to breathe but it never lasts
One second I’m fine and the next I collapse
And you’re telling me I should relax?
⸻
Chorus
I’M NOT JUST DRAMATIC
I’M LOSING CONTROL
IT HITS ALL AT ONCE
AND I CAN’T LET IT GO
YOU DON’T LIVE IN MY HEAD
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE
WHEN EVERYTHING’S BREAKING
AT THE SAME DAMN TIME
DON’T TELL ME TO FIX IT
DON’T TELL ME HOW TO ACT
MY MIND IS UNDER ATTACK
⸻
Verse 2
You think it’s a moment—it’s not, it’s a flood
Too many thoughts and they’re drawing blood
It’s every small thing stacking up at once
Till I can’t even tell which way is up
I hear every word ten different ways
Replaying every second for days and days
So don’t act like it’s nothing to me
When it’s everything just to survive
⸻
Pre-Chorus 2
It’s rising, it’s rising, it’s out of my hands
I’m trying to stop it—I don’t think I can
I’m gripping the edge but I’m slipping again
And you’re telling me, “calm down, Mrs. Dramatic”?
⸻
Chorus
I’M NOT JUST DRAMATIC
I’M LOSING CONTROL
IT HITS ALL AT ONCE
AND I CAN’T LET IT GO
YOU DON’T LIVE IN MY HEAD
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE
WHEN EVERYTHING’S BREAKING
AT THE SAME DAMN TIME
DON’T TELL ME TO FIX IT
DON’T TELL ME HOW TO ACT
MY MIND IS UNDER ATTACK
⸻
Bridge
I DON’T KNOW HOW TO SHUT IT OFF
I DON’T KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT STOP
IF I COULD, DON’T YOU THINK I WOULD?
ALL THESE MOMENTS ARE BREAKING MY HEART
I’M NOT TRYING TO BE THIS WAY
I’M NOT TRYING TO PUSH YOU AWAY
BUT THE MORE YOU SAY “RELAX”
THE WORSE IT GETS—THE MORE I CRACK
⸻
Final Chorus
I’M NOT JUST DRAMATIC
I’M TRYING TO BREATHE
BUT IT’S ALL PILING UP
AND IT’S BURYING ME
YOU DON’T SEE WHAT IT TAKES
JUST TO STAY IN CONTROL
WHEN I’M FIGHTING MYSELF
TRYING NOT TO LOSE IT ALL
DON’T CALL ME DRAMATIC
LIKE I’M CHOOSING THIS PAIN
I’m just trying to survive it…
But you say it again
