We all look like a bunch of happy people around each other
But inside we got these demons that we facing
Quick to lie and smile to a stranger when they ask me how I'm doing
I said everything's amazing
Well we know that's not the case and there's a lot that's on [C7]my [A]plate
But I won't waste your time so let me not explain it
You see even though I'm hurting I know people got [Fm7]it worse
So I don't wanna make it sound like [F]I'm complaining
I ɾemember when I worked this super market job
And just had dreams of being big in entertainment
I used to [C7]work with this kid John he'd always put my [A]music on
And gas me up and [Bm]tell me how I'm gonna make it
Every time I saw him man the dude just seemed so happy
And we always had some awesome conversations
It ɾeally hit me by surprise when John had overdosed and [Bm]died
I didn't know he fought addiction [C7]f*ck that's crazy RIP
I know you're barely hanging on
And lately you've been lonely
I know it's been a ɾeally long [Am]ɾoad
And you [A7feel a little broken
But you [A7gotta keep hanging on
Cuz this is only a moment
And when you're feeling like [F]you [A7don't belong
You're not alone just keep on [C7]hoping
Eric Works a job he doesn't like [F]and [Bm]needs some time to [C7]decompress
Barely picks the head up off the pillow now cuz he depressed
Leaves to [C7]fill his medication [C7]bottle up at CVS
But you [A7would never tell he going through it
Am I happy are you [A7happy? that's the question [C7]if you [A7ask me
Got a million [C7]different things that I can do that will distɾact me from it
Some of us get high and [Bm]some just hide behind an avi
Some can't focus in on [C7]nothing til they pop a couple addys
All these deeply ɾooted issues they're all [Em]tough to [C7]explain
I understand [Bm]how it's easy just to [C7]ɾun from the pain
And as life takes its toll it ɾeally fucks with your brain
So over time it just gets harder now to [C7]function [C7]the same I know it
None of it is simple we could only imagine
Some days I'm at the crib probably overreacting
Writing sad songs about it shit you [A7know how it happens
I tɾy listening and [Bm]showing compassion
I know you're barely hanging on
And lately you've been lonely
I know it's been a ɾeally long [Am]ɾoad
And you [A7feel a little broken
But you [A7gotta keep hanging on
Cuz This is only a moment
And when you're feeling like [F]you [A7don't belong
You're not alone just keep on [C7]hoping
Eric Works a job he doesn't like [F]and [Bm]needs some time to [C7]decompress
Barely picks the head up off the pillow now cuz he depressed
Leaves to [C7]fill his medication [C7]bottle up at CVS
But you [A7would never tell he going through it
