Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Too much on my mind
Too much on my mind
Too much on my mind
Too much on my la la la la la la la la
[Verse 2]
Here I am thinking again
All lost in my brain
But I know I should get up and get out of it
I gotta keep moving
But here I am all lost up in my brain
Can't stop thinking, reminiscing
Can't stop can't let go
Oh oh
[Verse 3]
But when I wake up
And one day I will do it yeah yeah yeah yeah
I have let you go
And everything I went through was beautiful
I have let you go
And everything I went through was beautiful
[Verse 4]
Maybe I right now can't see the forest for the trees
So lost behind hurt
But I'm trying everyday exponentially
To move forward yeah
Do you know how it feels to be lost?
[Verse 5]
But when I wake up
Everything I went through would be beautiful
When I wake up
And I will wake up
It's gonna be beautiful
[Verse 6]
Down to my left side (Last cry)
Feeling l could fly (Feeling I could fly)
All day up high
Sweeter than the sugar on a cinnamon treat
Or an ice cream
That was me
[Verse 7]
But I'm feeling like I'm in a nightmare
Fear of loving somebody everywhere
Oh Lord, I need this confirmation this affirmation
Then when I wake up
When I wake up
Everything I went through would be beautiful
When I wake up
Everything I went through would be beautiful
[Verse 8]
Gotta wake up (Gotta wake up)
Gotta wake up (Gotta wake up)
Gotta wake up yeah yeah
[Verse 9]
Everything I went through, gotta wake up
[Verse 10]
Gotta wake up (Gotta wake up)
Gotta wake up (Gotta wake up)
Gotta wake up, yeah and yeah
Gotta wake up (Gotta wake up, gotta wake up)
Gotta wake up (Gotta wake up) yeah yeah
[Verse 11]
Everything I went through would be beautiful
Gotta wake
