about

This song is about how I find it difficult to work on my mental health.

lyrics

I think I'm pretty good at self reflection
cus I can recognise the problem
But that's not enough to make it stick
Even if everybody says that's the first step

I think I'm pretty good at being honest
if you force me
but wouldn't that be rude
Is that really what a friend would do

I'm a special kind of train wreck
Cus I don't wanna fix the track
I got rid of that sensible voice in the back of my head
And I don't ever want it back
(it used to say)

Just get through the moment
Then get through the day
Then get through tomorrow
Smiling all the way
They'll say that you're happy
That you're full of laughs
Just get through the moment
and smile if you can

You get tired of hearing
That it gets better, if you just try
Cus sometimes it doesn't
Yeah sometimes that's a lie

You get tired of hearing
That it'll all be alright
Cus sometimes it isn't
Sometimes they lie

I'm a special kind of train wreck
Cus I don't wanna fix the track
I got rid of that sensible voice in the back of my head
And I don't ever want it back
(it used to say)

It feels like you get blisters
Taking two steps forward and one step back
So you do it on tiptoes
And you get nowhere fast
