[ Verse 1]
Every time I laugh I die
Every time I smile I cry
Is it really not that obvious
Y’all call me oblivious
You’d be surprised what I notice
Hard for me to ever focus
All these voices in my head
My feet dangle off the ledge
[Chorus]
I’ve been drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away
Tell joke to hide my pain
But my heart won’t play
If you looked in my eyes
You’d see nothing but pain
I’ve been drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Scroll mindlessly on the phone
Pretend I’m fine
Type “I’m good” don’t cross the line
Read your tone between the lines
Swear yall don’t see the warning signs
Room full of people
I still stand all alone
Front row seat to my own demise
If I ghost you
It’s not pride
It’s me drowning in my mind
[Chorus]
I’ve been drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away
I tell joke to hide the pain
But my heart won’t play
If you looked in my eyes
You’d turn the other way
I’ve been drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away (oh)
[Bridge]
Say I’m too in my head
Yeah
You might be right (might be right)
But if you done what I’ve done
You’d be gone by tonight (by tonight)
So I choke on the truth
Turn it into a lie
Every time I laugh
I die
Every time I laugh
I die
[Chorus]
I’ve been drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away
Tell a joke to hide the pain
But my heart won’t play
If you looked in my eyes
You’d turn the other way
I’ve been drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away
