Lyrics
I feel like my friends forget I get depressed sometimes too
I feel neglected by my friends who seem to overlook that I also experience periods of depression.
Barely go outside to see the sun, barely go outside to see the moon
I rarely go outside to experience both day and night, suggesting a withdrawal from normal activities.
Misunderstood, but I gotta keep it together
Despite being misunderstood, I must maintain composure and hold myself together.
Cause I feel like my friends forget I get depressed sometimes too
Reiteration of the feeling of being forgotten by friends regarding my struggles with depression.
Tell me, what's on your mind?
Inviting someone to share their thoughts, expressing a desire for deeper connection.
I wanna see inside, pretty please
Requesting openness and vulnerability, wishing to understand the person better.
If I could read your thoughts, maybe we'd move through life with ease
Expressing the belief that mutual understanding can make navigating life smoother.
Cause a joke won't crack open a smile and I can't breathe
Humor is ineffective in bringing joy, and a sense of suffocation is felt.
So let's forget about the past, manifest a future with me
Proposing to focus on the future together and let go of the past.
So take off your mask at the door
Encouraging someone to reveal their true self by removing their metaphorical mask.
It's safe inside
Assuring that it's a safe space for authenticity.
Come and show me the feelings you hide
Inviting the person to share their hidden feelings.
Never had I would've thought you'd see me ever hit a low this hard
Expressing surprise at experiencing such a profound emotional low.

Cause I feel like my friends forget I get depressed sometimes too
Repeating the sentiment of friends forgetting about personal struggles.
So much time alone
Highlighting a significant amount of time spent alone.
They go out while I stay at home
Contrasting social activities of others with personal solitude, downplaying its importance.
But it's no big deal, I got so much to do on my own
Indicating self-sufficiency and the ability to engage in personal reflection.
Like sit around and ponder about life while I cry on the floor
Humorous depiction of contemplating life while emotionally distressed.
(Oh, the feelings I hide)
A parenthetical reminder of concealed emotions.
