about

This song comes from a soft place in my heart because it speaks to my personal struggles with my mental health. It feels powerful because it sends a message that you are not alone.

lyrics

Verse 1:
no offense but don’t ask me how I’m doing
I don’t feel like lying to you or myself anymore
drowning in my thoughts just sink in, I did
how do I keep myself from going under
more I try to fight it
the more I’m hitting a wall
it’s taken everything I’ve got, all of my power
you say I gotta keep holding on but

Chorus:
How (x4)

Verse 2:
said I’ve really been tryna let this go
all of my pride and push ego aside but
but it’s pulling me down
drawing me in, Ooh
and I’m like a moth to a flame
can’t you see there’s no escape
from the bed that I’m layin in
telling me it’s all gonna change if
I wait it out, I’ll feel better with time
but I gotta know

Chorus 2:
how long
Is it gonna take for me
Take for me
How long
Cause I feel it breaking me it’s breaking me
and I can't take it any longer

Bridge:
I don’t wanna feel like this
drowning in the days of reckoning
I just wanna free myself forever

How do I keep myself from going under (how long)
Hard to keep my head above the water
How do I keep myself from going under
Oh I'm going under
So tell me how do I

This feeling
Can’t fight it

How long
How long

To feel this (how long)
Feel this (how long)
Feeling
