The Sickness

Laying down on the edge of my bed

Coming down with a sickness in my head

Always looking for a new validation

And I'm not the only one

Filling my body with some empty affection

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Every time playing a role so that no one

Will ever see my soul

Don't let 'em come cause they can't hurt what they don't know

No, oh

That's just how it is

I hate to admit it, that's just how it is

That's just how it is

Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

That's just how it is

I hate to admit it, that's just how it is

That's just how it is

Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Just say you'll never leave me lonely

And promise that you'll follow me for all of time

Paint a portrait so appealing

You'll never know I'm dying on the inside

I've become a master of disguises

Smiling through the darkest times

When did everything become so heartless?

Mmm, mmm

So what's it gonna take to cure this sickness?

Or is it gonna take my life?

Never really getting past the surface

Oh, why?

That's just how it is

I hate to admit it, that's just how it is

That's just how it is

Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

That's just how it is

I hate to admit it, that's just how it is

That's just how it is

Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I've been at odds with myself

'Cause lately nobody's keeping it real

And what's good for my mental health

'Cause I've finally stopped the whole facade

I need you to save me from myself (save me, save me)

I need you to save me from myself

I need you to save me from myself

That's just how it is

I hate to admit it, that's just how it is

That's just how it is

Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

That's just how it is

I hate to admit it, that's just how it is

That's just how it is

Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
