Lyrics

I wish I could see things a different way

I desire to perceive things from a different perspective.

Find another canvas to paint

Seeking a new platform to express myself creatively.

'Cause mine is torn, it's dirty 'n' grey

Describing the current state of the speaker's mind as damaged, worn, and gloomy.

I'm talking bout my own damn brain

Referring to the challenges and struggles within the speaker's own thoughts.

I know we're supposed to grow old

A reflection on the conventional expectation of growing old and sharing life with a partner.

Have a couple kids and share your life with someone but

Expressing doubt about finding a suitable life partner.

I don't think there's someone out there for me

Feeling a lack of connection with potential life partners.

I'm as lonely as I'll ever be

Emphasizing a profound sense of loneliness.


If I left without saying goodbye

Contemplating leaving without formal goodbyes.

Would you look for me or would you cry?

Wondering about the emotional response of others—whether they would search for the speaker or grieve.

If I left without saying goodbye

Reiteration of the emotional impact of an abrupt departure.

Would you look for me or would you cry?

Repetition of the question, emphasizing its significance.


This a every day thing for me

Describing a recurring emotional struggle in the speaker's life.

It's a struggle wakin' up without you next to me

The difficulty of starting each day without the companionship of a significant other.

Hopefully somethin' better

Hoping for a more positive and promising future.

This a every day thing for me

Reiteration of the daily struggle and its emotional toll.

It's a struggle wakin' up without you next to me, ay

Continuing the theme of waking up alone and the associated struggles.

Stressin' 'bout the future, what it fuckin' holds

Re-emphasizing concerns about the future and a hopeful outlook.

Hopefully something better, yeah

Expressing optimism for a better future.

I don't got the energy to feed myself

Conveying a lack of motivation to take care of oneself.

Barely got the energy to be myself

Describing a state of low energy and struggling to maintain one's identity.

Hopin' this ends sometime soon

Expressing a desire for the current difficult situation to end soon.

Hopin' this ends sometime soon

Reiteration of the hope for an end to the ongoing struggles.


If I left without saying goodbye

Repeating the contemplation of leaving without proper goodbyes.

Would you look for me or would you cry?
