Social Anxiety
by Blake Whiteley

Album: Hit Different

Verse 1
Yeah, I don't wanna deal with this today
Don't wanna get out of bed or leave the house 'cause I feel this weight
Just wanna yell and grip the pillowcase
Throw my cellphone at the wall because I'm filled with rage
I take a picture with a filter, post it on my page
I try and smile for the likes, but I know that it's fake
I pop a Percocet pilly until I feel okay
But it just hides all the symptoms and never takes away
All my mistakes
Doin' bad, you can see it in my face
That way you know I'm lyin' when I say that I'm okay, look
I feel like glass, if you touch me, I'ma break
To be honest, I don't know how much more of this I can take
Would anybody if I just up and went away?
'Cause suicidal thoughts what I'm contemplatin' today
Is this a good ideal, or am I making a mistake?
But then I get peace by the look in my daughter's face
Daddy, you are strong
Daddy, you are brave
One day you're gonna overcome it all and be okay, look
I need you here, trust me, God will make a way
If two-year-olds could talk, trust me, this is what she'd say
'Cause she don't want no other man there on her wedding day
To walk her down the aisle or to give her hand away, look
That's a moment that you don't wanna waste
'Cause life is too precious, and it ain't easily replaced

Chorus
I'ma let this song sing, yeah
Lately, I've been feeling offbeat, yeah
I got this feeling, get it off me, yeah
Get behind me, now God is callin', callin'
Ayy, I'ma let this song sing-ing
But lately, I've been feeling offbeat, yeah
I got this feeling, get it off me, yeah
Get behind me, now God is callin', He's callin'
Me, yeah

Verse 2
Ayy, look
And it's gon' be okay
Death been on my mind, but not me, no way
One day in a place where it be no shame
No condemnation, affliction, no, there will be no pain, yeah
Pull the blinders off my eyes so I see You
Your love bring me back to life, God, I need You
I'm just a traveler, I cannot wait to meet You
You see these holes in my palm now that it's see-through

Chorus
I'ma let this song sing, yeah
Lately, I've been feeling offbeat, yeah
I got this feeling, get it off me, yeah
Get behind me, now God is callin', He's callin'
Ayy, I'ma let this song sing-ing
But lately, I've been feeling offbeat, yeah
I got this feeling, get it off me, yeah
Get behind me, now God is callin', He's callin'
Me, yeah
