On the surface, everything's just fine

But nervous doesn't describe what's going on behind these eyes

It's just too easy to fake a smile

But you got my heartbeat on repeat

Going 'bout a hundred thousand miles

My mind's racing but I could never out run you

You're two steps ahead while I'm tripping over my shoes

A-N-X-I-E-T-Y

No matter how hard I try, you will never leave

Yeah, yeah

H-A-T-E Y-O-U

And all the stupid things you do

I give in so easily

You get the best of me

You get the best of me

I wish I could just let you go

But the truth is, you are all I've ever known

You're an infection, a medicine just numbs my brain

I'm doing anything and everything to feel normal again

What's normal again?

'Cause my mind's racing but I could never out run you

You're two steps ahead while I'm tripping over my shoes

My mind's racing but I could never out run you

Playing games with me that I will always lose

A-N-X-I-E-T-Y

No matter how hard I try, you will never leave

Yeah, yeah

H-A-T-E Y-O-U

And all the stupid things you do

I give in so easily

You get the best of me

You get the best of me

It's crazy, my thoughts start racing

And my mind erasing everything I knew

It's just pills and therapy bills

Just to keep me away from you

And it works for a little while, bullshit smiles

But I'm just walk through the motions

Either that, or losing track of my emotions

4 a.m. panic attacks

Taking red eyes back home

I feel by myself but with you, I'm never alone

Damn

A-N-X-I-E-T-Y

No matter how hard I try, you will never leave
