Drowning Inside

My work is piling up
And I can't rest for just one second
I've told myself to be perfect
And that I can't afford to fail
I want to be the best
To never need any help
And if I can't do it myself
I shouldn't do it all

Cause even when I'm drowning inside
I can put on a smile and say that I'm doing just fine
I can't let anyone else see
All the struggles that prove that I'm weak

I've been running through my life
So fast that I don't know
Where I'm at or where I've been
Or where I'm trying to go
Now it's overwhelming
To be this tired and this lost
I want to start walking
But I don't know where to start

Even when I'm drowning inside
I can put on a smile and say that I'm doing just fine
I can't let anyone else see
All the struggles that prove that I'm weak

Am I afraid of being broken
Someone who can't do what they have chosen
Does somehow no one knowing
That I am just barely floating
Make me ok or keep me safe
Am I afraid of being broken
Someone who can't do what they have chosen
Does somehow no one knowing
That I am just barely floating
Make me ok or keep me safe?

Everyone has times when they can't stand
Falling down doesn't make you less a man
It just gives others a chance to lend a hand
To pull you out of the water and onto safe dry land

Next time I'm drowning inside
I'll admit to you that I'm not fine
I know that you care and want to see
All the struggles that prove that I'm weak
All the struggles that prove that I'm weak
