Worry It Away
Embracing Fears: Juliette Reilly's Anthem of Overcoming Anxiety
Lyrics
You are so carefree
You are carefree.
It comes so easily
Being carefree comes naturally to you.
So charismatic
You possess charisma.
You don't understand how I could be so panicked, melodramatic
You don't comprehend my state of panic and melodrama.
If I'm not scared, I'm not prepared
If I'm not scared, I feel unprepared.
It's safer in the lines inside my mind
It's safer for me to stay within the boundaries of my mind.
I've made every mistake
I've experienced every possible mistake.
I have crashed every plane
I've faced failure in every endeavor.
If I just stay afraid
Choosing to remain fearful allows me to avoid mistakes.
I can worry it away
Worrying becomes a way for me to cope.
Cuz if I lose my fears I lose control, oh
Losing my fears means losing control.
You say I'm just restless
You attribute my anxiety to restlessness.
Blame my defenses
Blame my defensive nature for my current state.
They got me this far
My defenses have brought me this far.
I know each, "what if" and how it's gonna happen before I start
I anticipate every "what if" scenario and how it will unfold.
Why do I put my mind before my heart?
Questioning why I prioritize my mind over my heart.
I've made every mistake
I've encountered and learned from every mistake.
I have crashed every plane
I've faced the consequences of every failure.
If I just stay afraid
Maintaining fear as a constant shields me from further mistakes.
I can worry it away
Using fear as a mechanism to cope and avoid losing control.
Cuz if I lose my fears I lose control, oh
The idea that losing fears equals losing control persists.
I've always been afraid
Fear has always been a part of my life, coexisting with okayness.
And always been okay
Despite the fear, I have managed to be okay.
Give me one perfect day
A desire for one perfect day that can be worry-free.
I'll just worry it away
Hoping to worry away the imperfections on a perfect day.
And if I find a new start I won't worry it away
If a new start is found, worrying won't be the focus.
Ooh, the world, it's closing in around me
The world feels like it's closing in around me.
Ooh, replay it over and over again
Replaying troubling thoughts repeatedly.
Ooh, change the filter on the memory
Choosing to change the perspective on memories.
Make up my own happy ending
Creating a positive narrative for a happy ending.
(Don't worry it away)
An encouragement not to worry things away.
I've made every mistake
Having experienced and learned from every mistake.
I have crashed every plane
Facing the consequences of crashing every metaphorical plane.
If I just stay afraid
Maintaining fear as a shield against potential failure.
I can worry it away
Utilizing worry as a coping mechanism for control.
What if I lose my fears, I win?
Questioning the possibility of winning by overcoming fears.
I've always been afraid
Fear has always coexisted with being okay.
And always been okay
Despite fear, there has been a consistent state of being okay.
Give me a perfect day
A desire for a perfect, worry-free day.
I'll just worry it away
Intending to worry away imperfections on a perfect day.
Now that I found this new start I won't worry it away
With the discovery of a new start, worries won't be prioritized.
Now that I found this new start I won't worry it away
A reaffirmation that worries won't dominate with a new beginning.
(Don't worry don't worry don't don't)
Repeating the commitment to not worry with the newfound start.
Now that I found this new start I won't worry it away
Emphasizing the commitment to not worry with the new beginning.
