Lyrics

Yeah I'm going through a lot right now

Put down the phone, and talk to me
I'm going through a lot, I need some company
Now I don't wanna assume that you're doing what I'd do
But you're smoking outside like your groupchat ditched you

But you don't have to pretend that you're "like, fine" or whatever
'cause I just got dumped, and she's never looked better
And your phone's almost dead, all your messages are blue,
Sounds like you're going through a lot right now too

So let's be friends tonight
To find some hope and help each other cope with life

Yeah I'm going through a lot right now
Got a lot I gotta figure out
But I don't really wanna talk about it
'cause I'm going through a lot right now

Now we could stay here and stand around being sad,
Or cheer ourselves up, and see what fun we can have.
What more is there to do when you lose your purpose in life
Than to go do something crazy and then story it, right?

Running from my problems is my mission
So won't you help me finish my prescription?
Then we can cross some things off of our bucket list
And do some put-it-on-your-fake-and-don't-tag-me shit.

So let's be friends tonight
To comfort and confide and help each other stay alive
We're going through a lot right now
And there's a lot that we should talk about
But honestly I'm tryna block it our
'cause I'm going through a lot right now

I might need to get some help
How can I be there for you when I'm running from myself?
I guess I kinda got a lot I gotta deal with
I gotta say I need somebody to be real with
So come with me if you believe it's worth the night
'cause if we take care of each other everything will be alright

Yeah I'm going through a lot right now.

Yeah I'm going through a lot right now
Got a lot I gotta figure out
But I don't really wanna talk about it
'cause I'm going through a lot right now

Yeah I'm going through a lot right now
Tryna do better but I don't know how
I know I gotta work it out
'cause I'm going through a lot right now

I might need to get some help
How can I be there for you when I'm running from myself?
I guess I kinda got a lot I gotta deal with
I gotta say I need somebody to be real with
So come with me if you believe you know how
How to make it better when we're going through a lot right now

Yeah I'm going through a lot right now.
