Too self-aware to be happy
Too self-aware to be happy
Overthinking everything you said
Too self-aware to be happy
I could fix this if I really wanted
But I’m in my own head instead
I read between the lines you didn’t write
Turn a “hey” into a late-night fight
Made a problem out of something nice
Then I call it intuition, right
I can tell you how this ends already
Say I’m chill but I’m not, not really
You say something and I hear three things
None of them are what you actually mean
I know the pattern
I know the signs
I see the ending
Before it arrives
I could stop it
I could let go
But where’s the fun
In not spiralling though
Too self-aware to be happy
Too self-aware to be happy
Overthinking everything you said
Too self-aware to be happy
I could fix this if I really wanted
But I’m in my own head instead
I psychoanalyse the way you breathe
Like it’s got some hidden meaning
You just laugh and I’m already gone
Writing stories you’re not even in
I got therapy talk on standby
But I weaponise it in real time
I could probably just feel the thing
But I pull it all apart instead
I know the pattern
I know the signs
I see the ending
Before it arrives
I could stop it
I could let go
But where’s the fun
In not spiralling though
Too self-aware to be happy
Too self-aware to be happy
Overthinking everything you said
Too self-aware to be happy
I could fix this if I really wanted
But I’m in my own head instead
Maybe it’s not that deep
Maybe it’s just me
Maybe I don’t need
To fix everything I see
Maybe if I just stayed
Right where I am
I wouldn’t talk myself out of
Something good again
Too self-aware to be happy
Too self-aware to be happy
Overthinking everything you said
Too self-aware to be happy
I could fix this if I really wanted
But I’m in my own head instead
Too self-aware to be happy
Still saying it like a joke
Too self-aware to be happy
But I’m the one keeping me broke
