[English]

Oh, me, oh, my

I think I'm doing it, I do it again

I think I'm losing it, I'm losing it, man

Let blessings slide

I'm in a room full of all my friends

And I'm just up in my head, yeah

So worried about the things I say

So worried about this feeling I can't shake

I spent years in indecision with no vision

Oh, why can't I just stop?

Just turn it off, just for a day (ooh-ooh)

'Cause I don't wanna live a life

Trying to hold on, while it's slipping away

Yeah, that ain't no way to survive

Wish I could shut my stupid brain up sometimes (ooh-ooh)

...

Why does everyone stare at me like that?

Do I look too stupid?

I'm running fast but falling down slowly

Again and again

I need to let this go

I'm so sick of overthinking, never listen

Oh, why can't I just stop?

Just turn it off, just for a day (ooh-ooh)

'Cause I don't wanna live a life

Trying to hold on, while it's slipping away

Yeah, that ain't no way to survive (no way)

Wish I could shut my stupid brain up sometimes

Oh, and just let go for once in my life

Wish I could shut my stupid brain up sometimes

(Shut my stupid brain up sometimes, oh, oh, oh)

...

I need to let this go

I'm so sick of overthinking, never listen

Oh, why can't I just stop? (Ooh)

The switch in my head is off

But it keeps spinning, somebody stop

Bunch of scrap metal wearily trying to go their own way

Please, someone stop

What I got, what I got, so many things in my head

My little brain just stops, already dead

Give me a sec, try to make it better, I can't

Yeah, that ain't no way to survive

Wish I could shut my stupid brain up sometimes (shut it off)

Oh, and just let go for once in my life (just for once, for once)

Wish I could shut my stupid brain up sometimes

(Shut my stupid brain up sometimes, oh, oh, oh) (ooh)

...
