recorded in my bedroom. it is about accepting your sadness, and attempting to find comfort in it.

lyrics

i’m not giving up
i’m not giving in
but i’m not gonna get up
i’m gonna stay in

i won't win the morning
i won't win the day
i won't even try to
and i won't feel ashamed

i won't go to school
i won't go to work
i won't be productive at all
and it won't hurt

i’ll get through the day
just do the least
drink plenty of water
remember to eat

this is enough
i don’t need more
you shouldn’t either
life isn’t a sport

i might write a song
i might write two
i might write nothing
i don’t do it for you

you could call it selfish
i wouldn’t disagree
but first things first
i gotta look after me

but i feel fine
i feel kinda great
it’s quite liberating
to have nothing on my plate

you don’t need to worry
i don’t need help
i’ve embraced the condition
i’ve drank from the cup

i used to fight it
work hard and take meds
but i’m not gonna deny it
this is who i am

this isn’t improvement
this is acceptance
i know what my life is gonna be
and i won’t end it

i feel at ease
at home with my pain
it’s nothing dramatic
i’m really okay
