The Game

When I feel like I’m losing, then I feel like I’m lost
I gotta keep moving
No matter the cost
Sitting in my room, I like to play this game
Critiquing what I do
While I remain the same
Been feeling like I need you
I don’t trust myself
Word up to my therapist
Can’t get no help
Checking off my wishlist
You were built for me
This beating in my chest
I pray it never leaves
Why we lose the things we love
I’ll never know
And why we choose to hide the things we never show
Why we hold back all the things we wanna say
Until we wait too long
Then it will be too late
Been dealing with this demon
Called my mental health
You see me fight
For just tonight
She keeps me held
Thinking of my checklist
Won’t you slow it down
Run until I stumble
Got me falling now
Why we lose the things we love
I’ll never know
And why we choose to hide the things we never show
Why we hold back all the things we wanna say
Until we wait too long
Then it will be too late
When I feel like I’m losing, then I feel like I’m lost
I gotta keep moving
No matter the cost
Sitting in my room, I like to play this game
Critiquing what I do
While I remain the same
