[Verse 1]
So there's this thing
I don't know what it is, but I can't put it down
See, there's this thing
Wish I could show it to you, but I don't know how
So I keep carrying it 'round

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm wide awake, wide awake
I can't explain, can't escape
If the issue's on my mind, is the issue only mine?
Don't complain, push it down, but who are you to explain
How I look like I'm doing just fine?

[Chorus]
Just because I'm okay doesn't mean it's okay
Inside I'm like a hurricane, but you'd never tell
Even though I'm coping, couldn't feel less in control
And just because I carry it well
Don't mean it isn't heavy

[Verse 2]
Sometimes, I feel like I should live with it
Make you believe I'm tough, but now I've woken up
Each feather hits me like a tonne of bricks from you
But now I've had enough
You try picking it up
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm wide awake, wide awake
I can't explain, can't escape
If the issue's on my mind, is the issue only mine?
Don't complain, push it down, but who are you to explain
How I look like I'm doing just fine?

[Chorus]
Just because I'm okay doesn't mean it's okay
Inside I'm like a hurricane, but you'd never tell
Even though I'm coping, couldn't feel less in control
Yeah, just because I carry it well
Don't mean it isn't heavy

[Post-Chorus]
Don't mean it isn't heavy, no
Don't mean it isn't heavy, oh, no, no, ahh
Hmm-mmh

[Chorus]
Just because I'm okay doesn't mean it's okay
Inside I'm like a hurricane, but you'd never tell
Even though I'm coping, couldn't feel less in control
Just because I carry it well
Don't mean it isn't heavy
