lyrics

I’m holding on but I’m losing my grip
Feet on the ground but I’m starting to slip
Nobody sees the messages you leave me
Every time someone tells ya I’m doing ok
Ok doesn’t mean I’m invincible
Ok means today I ain’t miserable
Till there you are pulling like a magnet
No control cause I don’t have the strength yet
Every time I almost catch my breath
You catch me again

They say it’s easy
You’re not a fly in the vaseline
Just let go you’ll see
Just how fckn happy you could be
They say it’s easy
But I’m a fly in the vaseline
If I could oh trust me
I know how fckn happy I would be

Wait around till I’m ready to leave
Turns out your friends been following me
And now I’m trapped in the back
Don’t wanna see ya
Turn around and you’re asking if I’m doing ok  Ok doesn’t mean I’ve been going out
Ok means I finally left the house
And there you are pulling like a magnet
No control I don’t have the strength yet
Every time I almost catch my breath
You catch me again

They say it’s easy
You’re not a fly in the vaseline
Just let go you’ll see
Just how fckn happy you could be
They say it’s easy
But I’m a fly in the vaseline
If I could oh trust me
I know how fckn happy I would be

I’m really trying I don’t wanna turn back
I blame myself got caught up in this mess
working harder each step I step
Trying to free myself from the voices in my head
They say it’s easy
But they’re not like me

They say it’s easy
You’re not a fly in the vaseline
Just let go you’ll see
Just how fckn happy you could be
They say it’s easy
But I’m a fly in the vaseline
If I could oh trust me (I would)
I know how fckn happy I would be
