Orla Gartland – Overthinking lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm on an overcrowded train
Fighting an overcrowded brain
And all these bags under my eyes
Hold up my compromise
And maybe I should bail on everything, anything
Did you not learn anything in school?
Could have played by the rules
Could be happy in a different way
Struggling with the London rent
They said it would be hard, now I know what they meant
I lose sleep, head stuck in the cereal bowl
But I’m here for the music, I know
Distracted!
Can I say what I mean?
Can I mean what I say?
Why can’t I figure out how I feel when I wake up every day

[Pre-Chorus]
I face everything with the same old logic
Over analysing, everything is tragic
And maybe some things they will never make sense
So I tackle it all but I'm not making a dent, no

[Chorus]
And I think my brain is breaking
And it’s just myself I’ve been blaming
It’s frustrating
I just wanna know why
And I know no good will come of it
I wish that I could just be done with it
But I’m sinking
I just wanna know why I’m overthinking

[Post-Chorus]
No, no
And I just wanna know
I just wanna know why
Oh, oh
And I just wanna know why

[Verse 2]
I'm an outcast, to be left behind
I'm an extrovert with an anxious mind
There's a danger that I might just
Pour my heart out to a total stranger in a bar
And they're not gonna wanna hear
No, they're just there to sip their beer
Not hear about problems to solve and
“God this girl's so self-involved”
I play it out my head
I'm trying to make good choices, I hear voices
They can't pick one side
Help! I look so stupid sitting there tongue tied
Meltdown! All I can hear is code red, code red
Got a problem in the control centre in my own head

[Pre-Chorus]
Facing the world with the same old logic
Over analysing everything is tragic
And maybe some things they will never make sense
So I tackle it all but I'm not making a dent, no

[Chorus]
And I think my brain is breaking
And it’s just myself I’ve been blaming
It’s frustrating
I just wanna know why
And I know no good can come of it
I wish that I could just be done with it
But I’m sinking
I just wanna know why I’m overthinking

[Post-Chorus]
No, no
And I just wanna know
I just wanna know why
No, no
And I just wanna know why
