[Verse 1] They skip the track, they change the station Telling me it’s too much desperation "Oh, she’s writing down the dark stuff again" "Can't she write a pop hook for a friend?" They turn the volume down to keep the peace Wanting the heavy feelings to cease They call it a downer, call it a mood Like I’m just being difficult and rude [Verse 2] But let’s be real, let’s clear the air It’s not the sound that you can't bear You just don't want to look at the cracks in the floor Or hear the panic beating at the door It’s easier to label it "too sad" to hear Than to face the reality of the fear You turn away because the mirror is bright And you don't want to see what’s happening tonight [Chorus] [Anthemic] [Powerful] Yeah, you avoid the music 'cause it hits too close Skipping the parts that matter the most You cover your ears and you say it’s a phase 'Cause you’re too damn scared to look at the blaze It’s not just a song, it’s a cry in the gray But you look the other way and you say "Oh, it's just another sad song on display" When the truth is she’s just not fucking okay! [Bridge] [Screamed] [Intense] [Defiant] You want a pretty lie to keep you asleep! You don't want to see the secrets I keep! It’s easier to ignore the weight of the sound! Than to realize I’m starting to drown! [Confident] [Loud] Don't call it a style, don't call it a art! When it’s a real piece of a breaking heart! [Chorus] [Heavy Drums] [Explosive Vocals] Yeah, you avoid the music 'cause it hits too close Skipping the parts that matter the most You cover your ears and you say it’s a phase 'Cause you’re too damn scared to look at the blaze It’s not just a song, it’s a cry in the gray But you look the other way and you say "Oh, it's just another sad song on display" When the truth is she’s just not fucking okay! [Outro] [High Energy] [Driving Beat] Not just a sad song! Face the facts now! Turn it up loud! Yeah, she's just not okay!
