about

This song's about the anxiety of reaching out to friends.

lyrics

Don’t you think you’ve had enough
Feeling sorry for yourself
Always trapped inside your head
Never getting out of bed

You’ve been feeling so alone
But your friends are all blowing up your phone
Hitting them up shouldn’t be this hard
But you’re frozen where you are

Don’t you think you’re getting sick
Of feeling like a lunatic
What’s it gonna take for you to quit

I’m calling you to say I’m sorry for the wait
I know it’s shitty how I’ve been so M.I.A.
I don’t want you to think I don’t appreciate
It’s just not easy feeling this way

Stewing in your toxic thoughts
Letting worries call the shots
Wishing you could up and disappear
To be fair, it’s been a pretty rotten year

Maybe you can’t see the end
But you’ve got time to pretend
Carpe diem isn’t just a phrase
Don't you just wanna run away

Don’t you think you’re getting sick
Of feeling like a lunatic
What’s it gonna take for you to quit

I’m calling you to say I’m sorry for the wait
I know it’s shitty how I’ve been so M.I.A.
I don’t want you to think I don’t appreciate
It’s just not easy feeling this way

It’s not that easy (It’s not that easy)
It’s not that easy (It’s not that easy)
It’s not that easy (It’s not that easy)
It’s not that easy (It’s not that easy)

I’m calling you to say I’m sorry for the wait
I know it’s shitty how I’ve been so M.I.A.
I don’t want you to think I don’t appreciate
It’s just not easy feeling this way
