Lyrics Life's A Mess - Skyler Barajas

So many things going through my head
I could've been happier, but instead
I don't feel alive, I feel like I'm dead
Life's a mess, I get sad when I'm upset

I don't need to hear it twice, I know I'm better off alone
I'm okay, that's a lie, that's on everybody that I told
I would talk about my pain but nobody would care
So I put on my hoodie and a fake smile that I'm forced to wear
My demons chose me for them to haunt next
Depression and drugs are something I won't mix
Too much shit that I've been through
This is the part where I pick and choose
Do I want the pain to go away? Run away from it all
Do I want the pain to stay? It made me feel strong

So many things going through my head
I could've been happier, but instead
I don't feel alive, I feel like I'm dead
Life's a mess, I get sad when I'm upset

Everybody is smiling, I'm a broken child that is always crying
Everybody is lying, my true feelings are what I'm always hiding
Growing up as a kid, I was told to shake it off
I don't deserve this, I'm only 16 and I'm going through it all

So many things going through my head
I could've been happier, but instead
I don't feel alive, I feel like I'm dead
Life's a mess, I get sad when I'm upset
