Catch A Break Lyrics

Tryna finish school, tryna keep a job

Tryna be your best self, tryna beat the odds

Your heart is screaming, "send help", it needs you to respond

Cause you're the only one who is aware of the facade

You go through shit all alone and call it 'self help'

How you sleeping like a baby who is well fed?

When you ain't even got your shit together

You ain't where you wanna be, so ain't no get-togethers

School loan, plus a bunch of failed relationships

Now you're thinking you're the problem in relationships

When really you're the full package, just at the wrong address

Got daddy issues, but it ain't enough for you to be a mess

Or think of men as less

You don't drink and you don't do drugs

Could use a few hugs, maybe even a group hug

But you don't let nobody in who can't help fix the problem

Which is a problem

You think sharing you got problems is ammunition for others

That's a problem

On the phone for hours with your best friend

Listening to every rant, always allowing her to vent

You couldn't get a word in even if you wanted to

Cause to everyone else, you're the strong friend

Time's going, you're scared of not knowing

Where you're going, but you learn and keep growing

It's called coping, healing alone, fuck hoeing

Already met some people that it wasn't nice knowing

You ain't tryna add more to that list

Plus you're a lover girl, your ass be catching feelings quick

You don't know how to share your body with someone you don't see yourself with

So it's a wrap on that, cause you're a gift

So much on your mind nobody knows about

So much you struggle with but don't talk about

Only when you pray you truly open up

Cause He's the only one who kept showing up

When you ain't had a handle on anything like a broken cup

Always locked in your room

Unmotivated, but got shit to do

Fake smiling when you're really just in a mood

Cause depression doesn't knock, it intrudes

Even through your turmoils, you still try to show up

And occasionally feel as if you're not doing enough

Draining social batteries when you need to be setting boundaries

And recharge, ain't no ifs or buts

Need to give yourself grace

Be kind, don't self-hate

Don't self-harm or self-sabotage what's great

Standing in your own way, pushing everyone away

Thinking everybody's out to get you

You see the same love you poured into your ex?

Maybe you should try pouring that love into yourself, hm

Pour the same time and energy into your spirituality

And maybe focus on your health

You deserve better, why not give it to yourself?

Way too fine to be put through hell

Go water yourself and do shit that'll feed the soul

Be a little patient with the rate of your growth

Be deliberate but don't let them see you sweat

Don't be afraid of trying but don't be too desperate

Set the bar high for whoever comes next

You're the star, it's your movie and you control who's on set
