[Verse 1]
I'm on an overcrowded train
Fighting an overcrowded brain
And all these bags under my eyes
Hold up my compromise
Maybe I should bail on everything, anything
Did you not learn anything in school?
Could have played by the rules
Could be happy in a different way
Struggling with the London rent
They said it would be hard, now I know what they meant
I lose sleep, head stuck in the cereal bowl
But I'm here for the music, I know
Distracted! Can I say what I mean? Can I mean what I say?
Why can't I figure out how I feel when I wake up every day?

[Pre-Chorus]
I face everything with the same old logic
Overanalyzing everything is tragic
And maybe some things, they will never make sense
So I tackle it all, but I'm not making a dent, no

[Chorus]
And I think my brain is breakin'
And it's just myself I've been blamin'
It's frustrating
I just wanna know why
And I know no good can come of it
I wish that I could just be done with it
But I'm sinkin'
I just wanna know why I'm overthinkin'
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh
And I just wanna know
I just wanna know why
Oh-oh
And I just wanna know why

[Verse 2]
I'm an outcast to be left behind
I'm an extrovert with an anxious mind
There's a danger that I might just
Pour my heart out to a total stranger in a bar
They're not gonna wanna hear
No, they're just there to sip their beer
Not hear about problems to solve and
"God this girl's so self-involved"
I play it out in my head
I'm tryna make good choices, I hear voices
They can't pick one side
Help, I look so stupid sitting there tongue-tied
Meltdown, all I can hear is "code red, code red"
Got a problem in the control centre in my own head

[Pre-Chorus]
Facing the world with the same old logic
Overanalyzing everything is tragic
And maybe some things, they will never make sense
So I tackle it all, but I'm not making a dent, no
[Chorus]
And I think my brain is breakin'
And it's just myself I've been blamin'
It's frustrating
I just wanna know why
And I know no good can come of it
I wish that I could just be done with it
But I'm sinkin'
I just wanna know why I'm overthinkin'

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh
And I just wanna know, I just wanna know why
Oh-oh
And I just wanna know, I just wanna know why
Oh-oh
And I just wanna know, I just wanna know why
Oh-oh
And I just wanna know why
