I Am...

“I'm alright. I'm just tired.”

That phrase is easier to say than to try to convey
Every thought in my head that's better left unsaid

Can I just reserve these emotions I don't show?
Or do you need to hear the truth that lately I've been feeling pretty low?

Because my attachment aside, I feel it'd be better for you if I disconnect
And better if I spare the way my issues could affect

But I've learned silence speaks louder than me
And I can't from saying a word
I'll offer a lie in hope you find the peace you deserve

I want help
But I don't want to talk about it
I want help
I want help

I don't feel happy with myself

If you must, take it with a grain of salt
But it's imperative I keep the words behind my teeth
Believe with me that it's my own fault
Keep your doubts buried deep underneath

I just don't feel happy with myself
