about

A song about mental health and family.

lyrics

Sometimes I wonder if someday you'll seep out of me.
If I'll wake up one morning unable to get out of bed.
I think about it when I think about drugs and cigarettes and Diet Coke.
I think about it when the sadness won't leave my head.

Cuz maybe it's genetic, and I'll be losing my mind,
cuz there's something in my DNA that's being unkind.
So don't you try to love me, cuz it ain't worth your time.
Might be my mother's girl and once I've seen the world, I'll stop running and I'll lose my mind.

Sometimes I wonder if you did it, without warning this time.
And every time I see his name on my phone, I think you must be dead.
I've been grieving for a long long time, and mom I can't decide
if when you're gone I'll finally feel free, or just angry instead.

Cuz maybe it's genetic...

(Instrumental)

Sometimes I wonder if I push all the good ones away.
Like I'd rather keep it all in my head than mess up somebody's life.
I think about it when I think about kids, and what it really means to love.
I'm scared of falling behind, all alone, trying to make everything right.

Cuz maybe it's genetic and I'll be losing my mind.
Cuz there's something in my DNA that makes me unkind.
So don't you try to love me, cuz it ain't worth your time.
Might be my mother's girl and once I've seen the world, I'll stop running and I'll lose my mind.
