Overthinking (Demo)

I'm on an overcrowded train

Fighting an overcrowded brain

And all these bags under my eyes

Hold up my compromise

Maybe I should bail on everything, anything

Did you not learn anything in school?

Could have played by the rules

Could be happy in a different way

Struggling with the London rent

They said it would be hard, now I know what they meant

I lose sleep, head stuck in the cereal bowl

But I'm here for the music, I know

Distracted!

Can I say what I mean?

Can I mean what I say?

Why can't I figure out how I feel when I wake up every day?

I face everything with the same old logic

Overanalyzing everything is tragic

And maybe some things they will never make sense

So I tackle it all, but I'm not making a dent, no

And I think my brain is breakin'

And it's just myself I've been blamin'

It's frustrating

I just wanna know why

And I know no good can come of it

I wish that I could just be done with it

But I'm sinkin'

I just wanna know why I'm overthinking

Oh-oh

And I just wanna know, I just wanna know why

Oh-oh

And I just wanna know why

I'm an outcast, to be left behind

I'm an extrovert with an anxious mind

There's a danger, that I might just

Pour my heart out to a total stranger in a bar

They're not gonna wanna hear

No, they're just there to sip their beer

Not hear about problems to solve and

"God this girl's so self-involved"

I play it out in my head

I'm tryna make good choices, I hear voices

They can't pick one side

Help, I look so stupid sitting there tongue-tied

Meltdown, all I can hear is "code red, code red"

Got a problem in the control centre in my own head

Overanalyzing everything is tragic

And maybe some things they will never make sense

So I tackle it all, but I'm not making a dent, no

And I think my brain is breakin'

And it's just myself I've been blamin'

It's frustrating

I just wanna know why

And I know no good can come of it

I wish that I could just be done with it

But I'm sinkin'

I just wanna know why I'm overthinking

Oh-oh

And I just wanna know, I just wanna know why

Oh-oh

And I just wanna know, I just wanna know why

Oh-oh

And I just wanna know, I just wanna know why

Oh-oh

And I just wanna know why
