Verse 1)In the hallway, the lights are way too brightEvery person I pass feels like a fightYou call it a "vibe," say I should switch it offLike a heavy coat I can just easily tossBut it’s a circuit in my brain, stuck on high alertAnd your words are starting to leave a different kind of hurtYou say I’m "too stressed" to sit in your roomWhile I’m just trying to navigate the gloom.(Chorus)I’m sorry I can’t be perfect for youI’m sorry my struggle is an inconvenience, tooYou say we’re "permanent," you say we’re best friendsBut is that only true when the static ends?My anxiety isn’t a choice I madeBut you’re treating me like a debt that isn't paid.(Verse 2)You sit there silent while I’m in a dark placeJudging the look that’s written on my face"Landon did that to me," I whisper through the phoneNow my best friend is making me feel all aloneYou say "I never said that," then you repeat the lineLike my disorder is a crime, like the fault is mine"If I wasn't with her, I’d be with you"Changing the subject when I’m turning blue.(Bridge)I’m allowed to be anxious, I’m allowed to be meI’m not changing the schedule just so you can seeA version of me that’s easier to holdWhile I’m out here shivering, caught in the coldIt’s exhausting, it’s heavy, it’s a daily warAnd I shouldn't have to explain what I’m fighting for.(Chorus)I’m sorry I can’t be perfect for youI’m sorry my struggle is an inconvenience, tooYou say we’re "permanent," you say we’re best friendsBut is that only true when the static ends?(Outro)Go hang with someone else, if that’s what you needI’ll stay with the truth, and I’ll let my heart bleedI’m fighting a battle you don’t understandWhile you’re letting go of my shaking hand.(Yeah, you're letting go...)(I'm not being rude...)(I'm just not perfect for you.)
