Melancholy (Explicit)

Uh hi

Everyone

My name is Murs

And uh

Yeah

I've had a rough couple years

But uh

You know

I guess I was depressed

I don't feel depressed anymore

Uh

You know I'm just at this point where I'm not too high

And I'm not too low

I'm just here

And that's okay

And there's a word for that

It's called 'melancholy'

Yeah

They say that happiness is a choice

Well

I guess they get to choose

Put all them so called friends with they fake a*s friends

Ain't never been in my shoes

Had my back up against the wall

'Bout to jump up off the edge

Just paid for a shrink but she made me think

That the problem's all in my head

So with that said

I went solo

On my own tryna face my fears

I stopped

Popped a pill

And it all got real

So I started writing this right here

And it took me years to get to this point

Where I don't wanna die every day

You can't put it in your mind to be down all the time

'Cause the sun go shine anyway

I been walking down this road

Eyes closed

Reaching for a future that I cannot hold

Blindfold

Eyes closed

Reaching for a future that I cannot hold

And it takes a toll on my soul

Said it takes a toll on my soul

Walking down this road

Eyes closed

Reaching for a future that I cannot hold

Don't mean to make you feel bad

Because you think that I'm sad

No need for you to feel sorry

Bro

I'm just melancholy

Don't mean to make you feel bad

Because you think that I'm sad

No need for you to feel sorry

Bro

I'm just melancholy

Now I heard they call me crazy

I just act like I can't hear

But they ain't had it this rough or even lost as much

As I did in just one year

Have you ever had the feeling like you don't wanna die

But like

Wait

Still not wanna be here

That fog roll in and them days get dark

And it start getting hard for you to see clear

I know that pain too well

I swear I been through hell

If I don't smile

Oh well

Just worry 'bout yourself

I tell 'em leave me 'lone

I'm just in my zone

But some people can't take the hint

When my life so strange

I been through so much change

Why would I need yo' two cents

But everybody got they ideas

On how to make my pain go away

But opinions is just like a SoundCloud page

Everybody got one these days

So you can kill the interrogation

'Cause you only wasting your time

If you mind your business then I mind mine

And everything gon' be just fine

I been walking down this road

Eyes closed

Reaching for a future that I cannot hold

Blindfold

Eyes closed

Reaching for a future that I cannot hold

And it takes a toll on my soul

Said it takes a toll on my soul

Walking down this road

Eyes closed

Reaching for a future that I cannot hold

Don't mean to make you feel bad

Because you think that I'm sad

No need for you to feel sorry

Bro

I'm just melancholy

Don't mean to make you feel bad

Because you think that I'm sad

No need for you to feel sorry

Bro

I'm just melancholy
