[Verse 1]
Baby
You know I talk so crazy
Words run laps
Then they trip on me
History heavy on my tongue
Every old wound wants to speak at once
Whispers in my mind keep circling
Little shadows saying everything
Stress turns a spark to a wildfire
Breathing in smoke
Calling it desire
[Pre-Chorus]
I press replay on every small mistake
Make a mountain out of yesterday
I know it
(yeah, I know it)
Drag myself through every what-if line
Turn my heartbeat into overtime
Can’t control it
(can’t control it)
[Chorus]
Whispers in my mind
Make me lose my shine
Stress
Paranoia
All these
Emotions undefined
I know it isn’t fair
How I treat myself in there
Baby
I tear myself apart
Then I hide it in my heart
[Verse 2]
Talking in circles in the dark
Arguing with ghosts ’til it leaves a mark
Every quiet room gets loud
When I let those thoughts hang around
I say I’m fine
But my hands don’t lie
Nails in my palms when you say goodbye
I’m my own storm rolling in
Rain on my face
Can’t tell where it begins
[Pre-Chorus]
I press replay on every small mistake
Make a mountain out of yesterday
I know it
(yeah, I know it)
Drag myself through every what-if line
Turn my heartbeat into overtime
Can’t control it
(can’t control it)
[Chorus]
Whispers in my mind
Make me lose my shine
Stress
Paranoia
All these
Emotions undefined
I know it isn’t fair
How I treat myself in there
Baby
I tear myself apart
Then I hide it in my heart
[Bridge]
But you hold my shaking hands
Say I’m more than what I can’t stand
Tell me
“Breathe
You’re here right now
You don’t have to figure it all out”
So I’m learning how to say
“I’m hurting
But I’ll be okay”
Giving grace to this restless head
Tucking kindness in my bed
[Chorus]
Whispers in my mind
Still try to steal my shine
Stress
Paranoia
But I
Won’t bow to every lie
I know it isn’t fair
How I treat myself in there
So I’ll love me through the fear
Baby
I’ll keep me here (oh yeah)
