Overthinking

I'm on an overcrowded train

Fighting an overcrowded brain

And all these bags under my eyes

Hold up my compromise

Maybe I should bail on everything, anything

Did you not learn anything in school?

Could have played by the rules

Could be happy in a different way

Struggling with the London rent

They said it would be hard now I know what they meant

I lose sleep, head stuck in the cereal bowl

But I’m here for the music, I know

Distracted!

Can I say what I mean, can I mean what I say

Why can’t I figure out how I feel when I wake up everyday

Facing everything with the same old logic

Overanalysing everything is tragic

And maybe some things they will never make sense

So I tackle it all, but I'm not making a dent

And I think my brain is breaking

And it’s just myself I’ve been blaming

It’s frustrating

I just wanna know why

And I know no good will come of it

I wish that I could just be done with it

But I’m sinking

I just wanna know why I’m overthinking

I'm an outcast, to be left behind

I'm an extrovert with an anxious mind

There's a danger that I'm gonna pour my heart out to a total stranger

In a bar

And they're not gonna wanna hear

No, they're just there to sip their beer

Not hear about problems to solve

God this girl's so self-involved

I play it out my head

I'm trying to make good choices

I hear voices

They can't pick one side

Help! I look so stupid

Sitting there tongue-tied

Meltdown! All I can hear

Is code red, code red!

Got a problem 'n the control centre

In my own head

Facing the world with the same old logic

Overanalyzing everything is tragic

And maybe some things they will never make sense

So I tackle it all, but I'm not making a dent

And I think my brain is breaking

And it’s just myself I’ve been blaming

It’s frustrating

I just wanna know why

And I know no good will come of it

I wish that I could just be done with it

But I’m sinking

I just wanna know why I’m overthinking

I just wanna know why
