Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song when my anxiety was at it's worst. I flipped out on my boyfriend for irrational reasons because I had been hiding my anxiety issues for so long. This was my song to say "I don't want to lose you but I can't hide this anymore".
Song Description
This girl is deeply struggling with anxiety issues and irrational, bad thoughts. These thoughts are eating her alive. Eventually she explodes on her boyfriend which makes her face the fact that she needs to be open with him about her struggles. She wants so badly to hide underneath it all and pretend she's ok but she knows it won't stay hidden forever. This is her plea to stay even though she's ashamed of her emotional issues.

Lyrics
I lost my cool today
You know I wish that I could say it was the first time
The thoughts I can't escape
A hurricane in my brain left me with goodbye
And I can bury the truth but it's still gonna rise from the grave.
And I can tell you I'm fine but it's still gonna feel this way
And I hope you know I hope you know
The last thing I want is for you to want to go
Sometimes I get a little lost
I'm gonna steer this back on course, back to solid ground
And make you fall the second time around.
And I wish everything could be so easy
It's never long till I get the best of me
So if I showed you all my broken pieces would you run away or could you be ok
Cause I can bury the truth but it's still gonna rise from the grave.
And I can tell you I'm fine but it's still gonna feel this way
And I hope you know I hope you know
The last thing I want is for you to want to go
Sometimes I get a little lost
I'm gonna steer this back on course, back to solid ground
And make you fall the second time around.
These racing thoughts have burdened me
Haunting my mind I lose sight of reality
And I hope you know I hope you know
The last thing I want is for you to want to go
Sometimes I get a little lost
I'm gonna steer this back on course, back to solid ground
And make you fall the second time around.
