Lyrics:
I said I’ve been doing ok
But the truth is that I fall apart at the end of the day
Crawl into my bed, close my eyes
Cause sleep’s become my only escape
Twenty texts and ten missed calls
They all light up my phone in the dark
But I lie there unresponsive, detached
Stopped caring a while ago
24/7
365
Don’t think that I understand what it means to be alive
How do I explain
That my life’s a video game
I’m stuck playing the same stage
Over and over again
Over and over again
Tried to cut myself out of the game
Focus on a pain I could explain
Erase the plastic smile from my face
Am I the only one who feels this way
Good morning, slap a smile on my face
They don’t know that it’s all just for play
I’m just going through the motions, ignoring my emotions
Waiting for the night to fall
24/7
365
Don’t think that I understand what it means to be alive
How do I explain
That my life’s a video game
I’m stuck playing the same stage
Over and over again
Over and over again
And I know what they’re all gonna say
That I’m just another teen going through a phase
But I promise I’m not faking the pain
I’m sorry it sounds all too cliche
24/7
365
Don’t think that I understand what it means to be alive
How do I explain
That my life’s a video game
I’m stuck playing the same stage
Over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over again
