Same Way Too
I sing about depression and I try to convey a message
So that everybody can feel less alone
I'll ask a million different questions, say that you should count your blessings
When I know I couldn't count more than one
'Cause I'm a hypocrite I'll tell you how live then live the opposite
I'll help you fight some wars I've never won
I sing about the shit, but have never come to terms with it
It only knows how to chase me and I only know how to run
But I'll still sing about depression and I'll try to convey a message
So that one person can feel less alone
In your bedroom at 3am
In the restroom trying to avoid your friends
When you wish things would come to an end
Just know I feel the same way
In the mirror when you don't feel pretty, but you can't be sad
'Cause you'd get no pity
And you swear it's only you, just know I feel the same way too
I'm gonna keep you at a distance, so nobody can see the difference
Between who I am and who I'm supposed to be
Perk your ears up try to listen I've got myself a fucking system
How to help you go when I know I'll never leave
'Cause I'm a hypocrite and I've spent my life disguising it
And writing it, but now drinking it, and I'm way too drunk to be
Stuck in the middle of it when I should be at the end of it
Two times I've gotten close to it and I don't want to try for three
But I'll still sing about depression and I'll try to convey a message
So that one person can feel less alone
In your bedroom at 3am
In the restroom trying to avoid your friends
When you wish things would come to an end
Just know I feel the same way
In the mirror when you don't feel pretty, but you can't be sad
'Cause you'd get no pity
And you swear it's only you, just know I feel the same way too
I know you wanna know what the songs about
So I'm going to speak up just to let you down
Cause every time I tell you what I'm thinking bout your voice gets quiet
But your words get loud
Should I tell you that it's fiction even when it isn't
Don't wanna let you in, but it's how I make a living
I know you want to know what the songs about, it's just that I feel the same
