Pull Yourself Together

I've been trying to hide my thoughts for so long
I felt it made me strong
I believed I was right, but I was so wrong
My demise was prolonged
I thought I would never be understood
But as I write, I realize I could
I just

Gotta pull myself together

I know that I'm not alone
But I feel like I'm on the side of the road
I've broken down and I've got nowhere to go
I've got brains in my head
And I've got feet in my shoes
But I don't know what to do
I haven't a clue
I'm tryna escape this state of mind that I'm in
But what I'm finding is it's kinda hard to survive
I'm sighing

I've gotta pull myself together

This isn't like me
This isn't like me
The sight of a grown man sobbing might seem unsightly
Precisely at the point of breaking
I feel so delicate
But every breath I take is another step past embellishment
No more hiding behind happy masks
No more laughing cans
If I'm sad, I'ma be sad
It doesn't matter, man
There's no way you can shame me
I've been playing the game, B
Now I'm taking a break, see
I've been patiently waiting
The love of my life approaches
And she asks what's bugging me
She can see that I'm suffering, and it feels like it's for nothing
I unleash this stream of conscious that's been bothering me
Then she pulls me in her arms and then the sobbing proceeds
Tell me why do I react this way
I handle this each passing day
But sometimes there's a snap and then the dam just breaks
She pulls my head in her lap and then her hand's in my hair
And as I search for my peace
She shows me how much she cares
She whispers

I'm here for worse or for better
I know the days don't seem to let up, Jakob
Sometimes it's difficult to get up
But these are times we're gonna weather, Jakob
I know it doesn't seem so fair, love
The hard times seem to last forever, Jakob
But if there's anything I swear, love
It's you can pull yourself together, Jakob
