  • Dear God, please
    Hear me out, I know it's been a couple years
    Since I've reached
    Out and said hello, I bet you're wondering
    Why I keep
    Obsessing on and stressing all the little things
    When I should be
    Living life and soaking up the memories

    I know I've been
    Selfish, I have
    No excuse to give you it's true
    Hanging by a
    Thread's how I live
    I don't know why but
    I feel more comfortable

    Livin' in my agony
    Watching my self-esteem
    Go up in flames acting
    Like I don't
    Care what anyone else thinks
    When I know truthfully
    That that's the furthest thing
    From how I
    Feel but I'm too proud to open up and ask ya
    To pick me up and pull me out this hole I'm trapped in
    The truth is, I need help, but I just can't imagine
    Who I'd be if I was happy

    Yeah, been this way so long, it feels like something's off
    When I'm not depressed
    I got some issues that I won't address
    I got some baggage I ain't opened yet
    I got some demons I should put to rest
    I got some traumas that I can't forget
    I got some phone calls I been avoidin'
    Some family members I don't really connect with
    Some things I said I wish I would of not let slip
    Some hurtful words that never should of left my lips
    Some bridges burned, I'm not ready to rebuild yet
    Some insecurities I haven't dealt with, yes
    I'll be the first to admit that I'm a lonely soul
    And the last to admit I need a hand to hold
    Losing hope
    Headed down a dangerous road
    Strange, I know
    But I feel most at home when I'm

    Livin' in my agony
    Watching my self-esteem
    Go up in flames acting
    Like I don't
    Care what anyone else thinks
    When I know truthfully
    That that's the furthest thing
    From how I
    Feel but I'm too proud to open up and ask ya
    To pick me up and pull me out this hole I'm trapped in
    The truth is, I need help, but I just can't imagine
    Who I'd be if I was happy

    Don't know what's around the bend
    Don't know what my future is
    But I can't keep on livin' in

    Livin' in my agony
    Watching my self-esteem
    Go up in flames acting
    Like I don't
    Care what anyone else thinks
    When I know truthfully
    That that's the furthest thing
    From how I
    Feel but I'm too proud to open up and ask ya
    To pick me up and pull me out this hole I'm trapped in
    The truth is, I need help, but I just can't imagine
    Who I'd be if I was happy
    If I was happy
    If I was happy Writer/s: Nate Feuerstein, Tommee Profitt
