Background Sad (Radio Edit)

Come a long way, the hard way

And maybe I made it too hard

Been a long fight, the wrong kind

That breaks you and leaves you unsure

Been fighting to feel like myself

Not sure that’s what I want anymore

Feeling like me is probably the problem

I’ve had all along

I tell I everyone I got better

But what if I’m not?

It's hard to face the truth sometimes

Oh and I tell everyone it gets better

But what if I'm wrong?

It's hard to tell the truth sometimes

Am I always gonna just be, just be

Background sad, background sad

Waiting for the storm clouds to clear in my head

Background sad, background sad

Wondering if this is as good as it gets

Am I always gonna just be, just be getting by

Telling myself it’s alright?

Does it matter how hard I try?

Am I always gonna just be, just be

Background sad

I got pages and pages of documentation I keep

Looking for answers and patterns I’ve hidden in me

Don’t need the world in my hands

Think I’d be happy with halfway content

I should grow up and shut up

I’m probably wanting too much

Oh and I tell everyone it gets better

But what if I'm wrong?

It’s hard to tell the truth sometimes

Am I always gonna just be, just be

Background sad, background sad

Waiting for the storm clouds to clear in my head

Background sad, background sad

Wondering if this is as good as it gets

Am I always gonna just be, just be getting by

Telling myself it’s alright?

Does it matter how hard I try?

Am I always gonna just be, just be

Background sad

As I fade into the background,

I remember all the memories I came with

I'm meant to be ok with nobody changing around me,

I’m drowning in isolation,

but these melodies I play with

it's kept me sane again and again

when I’m sometimes taking the pain

and I tell myself I’ll never be amazing

the cemetery’s a playlist, of the voices of the dead

we're respecting what they said,

especially knowing we always say

am I always gonna just be, just be

background sad, background sad

Waiting for the storm clouds to clear in my head

Background sad, background sad

Wondering if this is as good as it gets

Am I always gonna just be, just be getting by

Telling myself it’s alright?

Does it matter how hard I try?

Am I always gonna just be, just be

Background sad
