I'm Alright

from Double Edged Sword by Ryan Garrett

/

about

A song about living with an anxiety disorder that I was recently diagnosed with.

lyrics

Shut the door, I don't want it wide open like it was before
I'll let some light in every now and then
You see it's like a clear day but the sky's still gray
You never know how long it'll stay
It's like calling a phone with no dial tone
And leaving messages anyway

But I'm alright, I'm alright
I still got my dreams to help me sleep at night
I'm alright, I'm alright
I can wake up when I want but some days aren't worth the fight

But I can't change myself
And I can't explain myself
And I know it's strange myself
But it's something that I can't help
So don't try to figure it out
You'll just disappoint us both, I have no doubt
It's not that I'm scared of myself
I'm just afraid of everything else

You pretend I'm weak
I pretend I know
And it don't bother me
But you act like it's wrong
To carry the weight of the world
And everything under the sun
It's no stranger to my shoulders
Time to drop it all at once

But I'm alright, I'm alright
I still got my dreams to help me sleep at night
I'm alright, I'm alright
I can wake up when I want but some days aren't worth the fight
I'll be fine in the morning but until then goodnight.
