troubles

I've been waking up with demons in my brain
I drown 'em out with TV but the stories are the same
Oh, maybe I can't sleep at night because I am afraid
Of something I can't change
Momma said that I was special, daddy would agree
So why's it feel like everybody's shinier than me
I'm trying but it's like I'm lying through my crooked teeth
'Cause shiny isn't me

I got troubles on my mind
I would fix them but I got no time, I got
Troubles, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Rip my heart out of my chest and put it on a page
It feels stupid, it feels small, like it's all in vain
Used to think that I was different but I'm just the same
Maybe I'm insane
I keep hating what I see looking back at me
Try to keep up with the world, I just can't compete
Wonder if the words I say amount to anything, oh

I keep telling people I'm okay
I keep telling people I'm okay
Look 'em in the eyes while I pray for rain
There's fires in my brain

I got troubles on my mind (on my mind)
I would fix them but I got no time, I got
I got troubles on my mind
I would fix them but I got no time, I got
Troubles, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I got troubles, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
