Anxiety - Anna Clendening

On the surface, everything’s just fine

But nervous doesn’t describe what’s going on behind these eyes

It’s just too easy to fake a smile

But you got my heartbeat on repeat

Going 'bout a hundred thousand miles

My mind’s racing, but I can never out run you

You’re two steps ahead while I’m tripping over my shoes

No matter how hard I try, you will never leave

Yeah, yeah, I H-A-T-E Y-O-U

And all the stupid things you do

I give in so easily

You get the best of me

You get the best of me

I wish I could just let you go

But the truth is, you are all I’ve ever known

You’re an infection, a medicine just numbs my brain

I’m doing anything and everything to feel normal again

What’s normal again?

'Cause my mind’s racing, but I can never out run you

You’re two steps ahead while I’m tripping over my shoes

My mind’s racing, but I can never out run you

Playing games with me that I will always lose, ooh

No matter how hard I try, you will never leave

Hey, yeah, I H-A-T-E Y-O-U

And all the stupid things you do

I give in so easily (You get, you get the best of me)

You get the best of me, no

You get the best of me, of me, of me

It’s crazy, my thoughts start racing

And my mind’s erasing everything I knew

It’s just pills and therapy bills

Just to keep me away from you

And it works for a little while, bullshit smiles

But I’m just walking through the motions

Either that, or losing track of my emotions

4 AM panic attacks, taking red eyes back home

I feel by myself, but with you, I’m never alone

Damn

No matter how hard I try, you will never leave
