lyrics

Who was I this time last year?
It feels like ages ago now
Who will I be this time next year?
I always feel like this is my time, but I never know how

Was I happier back then?
Maybe I was less anxious, less afraid to go to sleep
But my numbers got to be up soon
Because after all, it’s all about me, just try counting sheep or something

I’m always running out of things to tell myself to make myself feel better
It always feels like everything I say to feel better, none of it really works

Is it better to be or feel better?
I can’t keep my mind in the present, I’m so wrapped up in everything
I don’t know if I’d rather go out
Or just hole up under covers, and try not to think about anything at all

I’m always running out of things to tell myself to make myself feel better
It always feels like all those things I say to feel better, none of it really works

I know I wasn’t happier back then
Because I'm kind of a miserable person, and the grass is always greener after all
Is that just always how it goes?
Maybe everything is terrible, and I just have to make the call

I’m always running out of things to tell myself to make me feel better
I spend so much time trying just to make myself feel better, that I never do anything at all
