My mind lost it's way

Intro

Can we do a take six?

Verse 1

Yeah, this is going too fast

I don't think I can keep up with this life I live at last

I'll be at home if you don't find me

No need to call the police, I'm not hiding

I've been suffering from this low mood

But nobody around me is asking how I am, true?

Verse 2

It's like my mind's playing games with me

I've tried to get help, but they don't take me seriously

They say, "It's all in your head," as if that ain't the worst part

Don't get me started on the demons that are in my worst thoughts

Verse 3

I need a break from this pressure

I want to go back to the days where this didn't ever bother

I'd rather be alone than around people who don't care

'Cause when I need 'em the most, they aren't even there

Verse 4

I feel like I'm losing my mind

Wish I could rewind, go back in time

Before everything went south and I lost my shine

Before I got caught up in the pain and strife

Before I was diagnosed with the things I hide

Chorus

Yeah, that's PTSD

It's hard to explain what it's like to be me

It's like a part of my soul has been ripped away

It's like I'm trapped in my mind, and I can't escape

I just wanted to be happy, but I lost my way

Verse 5

I wake up in a cold sweat, heart racing

It's like I'm back in those moments I can't erase, yeah

I try to move forward, but I keep relapsing

It's like I'm stuck in a cycle that's never-ending, yeah

Verse 6

I can't eat, I can't sleep

I'm losing friends, I'm losing family

I know I should reach out, but I'm scared

I feel like nobody would even care

Verse 7

I struggle with these intrusive thoughts

Don't know how to cope with the trauma that I've got

I want to end this suffering, but I can't

It's like the more I try, the worse it all gets

Verse 8

I wish somebody would understand

That this isn't something I can just get over in a weekend

There are things that you just can't get over

You just learn to live with them and keep your composure

Chorus

Yeah, that's PTSD

It's hard to explain what it's like to be me

It's like a part of my soul has been ripped away

It's like I'm trapped in my mind, and I can't escape

I just wanted to be happy, but I lost my way

Verse 9

Low mood, that's what they call it

But it feels like my heart is locked in a coffin

I'm so exhausted from just existing

I'd rather just disappear into the distance

Verse 10

I'm done talking to doctors who just prescribe me pills

As if that's gonna fix all the pain that I feel

I need more than just chemical help

I need to learn how to help myself

Verse 11

I'm tired of the stigma surrounding mental health

It's time that we talk about the things that we can't see

'Cause it's real, and it's serious, and it's killing you and me

We need to speak up and finally break free

Chorus

Yeah, that's PTSD

It's hard to explain what it's like to be me

It's like a part of my soul has been ripped away

It's like I'm trapped in my mind, and I can't escape

I just wanted to be happy, but I lost my way
