So there's this thing
I don't know what it is, but I can't put it down
See, there's this thing
Wish I could show it to you, but I don't know how
So I keep carrying it 'round

I'm wide awake, wide awake
I can't explain, can't escape
If the issues on my mind
is the issue only mine?
Don't complain, push it down
But who are you to explain?
How I look like I'm doing just fine

Just because I'm okay doesn't mean it's okay
Inside I'm like a hurricane, but you'd never tell
Even though I'm coping
Couldn't feel last thing control
And just because I carry it well don't mean it isn't heavy

Sometimes I feel like I should live with it
Make you believe I'm tough, but now I've woken up
Each further hits me like a tonne of bricks from you
But now I've had enough
You try picking it up

I'm wide awake, wide awake
I can't explain, can't escape
If the issues on my mind
Is the issue only mine?
Don't complain, push it down
But who are you to explain?
How I look like I'm doing just fine

Just because I'm okay doesn't mean it's okay
Inside I'm like a hurricane, but you'd never tell
Even though I'm coping
Couldn't feel last thing control
Yeah, just because I carry it well don't mean it isn't heavy

Mean it isn't heavy, no
Don't mean it isn't heavy, oh, no, no
Hmm-mmh, mmh-mmh

Just because I'm okay doesn't mean it's okay
Inside I'm like a hurricane, but you'd never tell
Even though I'm coping
Couldn't feel last thing control
Just because I carry it well don't mean it isn't heavy
