City Lights - Learn to say goodbye

It comes so suddenly
Like high tide drowning me
One minute I feel fine
The next numb
Pretend everything’s fine
When really half the time
I’m staying awake until dawn

It feels like the weight
Of the world on my chest
But I think that it’s time to let go
One of these days
I’ll learn to say goodbye
To all of this tension
Eating me away inside
Cause I’m strong enough
And I’ve had enough
Of this worried state of mind
One of these days I’ll say goodbye
It won’t pull me under this time

Stuck in a crowded room
I hope we’re leaving soon
Sometimes I’d rather just be alone
What could I have to say
I probably shouldn’t talk anyway
I’m better off staying at home

But I won't be controlled
By what's inside my head
My fears won't define who I am

I can't help but feeling
Like I said something wrong
Regret weighs me down like a stone
Have to remind myself
Leave anguish on the shelf
It's ok not to be okay
Despite what they say
