"We are always feeling every emotion, but only a few are screaming."


Chorus:
This is gonna upset me,
She says,
What is that I have to do?
How many more steps do I have to take until I feel okay,
I can work out a plan,
Just where do I begin?
I just have to believe in myself,
And fake it until I make it up this hill of disaster land,
Rest and fall,
It is time for a few deep breaths in,
What do I do?
I must stay calm,
I must breathe deeply,
Even if internally I am screaming,
I am on top of my anxiety,
One more fight till I can breathe again-n-n,
I actually did not die when I deeply cried,
I didn’t die when i drank whiskey,
I survived,
This road-d,

Verse 1:
Chances are taken,
She is aching,
Forcing a smile,
It will only be a while,
Gotta fake it,
Till you make it,
It could have been worse I suppose,
I didn’t die,
Did I?
Did I?
Woah-h-h

It is time for a few deep breaths in,
What do I do?
I must stay calm,
I must breathe deeply,
Even if if internally I am screaming,
i am on top of my anxiety,
One more fight till I can breathe again-n-n,
I actually did not die when I deeply cried,
I didn’t die when i drank whiskey,
I survived,
This road-d,

Verse 2:
Gotta fake it,
Until I make it,
Something is rubbing my soul,
Telling me,
I am too cold,
I can’t take it no more,
I am stronger than this,
Heartbreak I feel when I am freezing cold,
And I take a step out on the ledge,
Where I am free again.

Rest and fall,
It is time for a few deep breaths in,
What do I do?
I must stay calm,
I must breathe deeply,

Verse 3:
It is cold again,
I am freezing cold,
I must believe in myslef,
What is it I have to do?
How do I cope-pe
With my anxiety,
I am one with hunger and regret,
Help me up to see my real self again-n

Verse 4:
Must I fake it?
I just wanna cry?
And shed my tears,
When I am freezing at night-t
But I have to accept it,
I must accept I am cold,
And so I will,
Fake it till I make it,
Because I must cope-e.
