I made a promise to myself
I would try being honest and ask for help
'Cause I need it
But it's hard to admit that
I'm working overtime
Been giving my all to get back a little
It don't make it easier
I can never convince myself to settle
I feel so lucky I get to do this
Telling my stories through the music
But I'm running out of things to tell
'Cause I won't give myself a break
Stressed out
Oh, I can't take another breakdown
Look into the mirror and
Breathe out, breathe out
(Out – out)
So baby don't stress out
I know it ain't easy but calm down
You know it's gonna get better
Don't stress out
(Out – out)
Too many troubles to write about
Still I get along with them somehow
I can't sleep 'cause I'm thinking
I can't find the meaning
It's gonna take some time (ah ah)
I'm getting caught up in the middle
It will get easier (ah)
If I slow down and keep it simple
I feel so lucky I get to do this
Telling my stories through the music
But I'm running out of things to tell
'Cause I won't give myself a break
Stressed out
Oh, I can't take another breakdown
Look into the mirror and
Breathe out, breathe out
(Out – out)
So baby don't stress out
I know it ain't easy but calm down
You know it's gonna get better
Don't stress out
(Out – out)
I feel so lucky I get to do this
Telling my story through the music
But I'm running out of things to tell
Cause I won't give myself a break
