One, two, three
Got a lotta talk in my brain right now
Sorry, gotta do it, gotta let you down
Everything's hard to explain out loud
Sorry, gotta do it, gotta let you down
'Cause I don't really know who I am right now
No, I don't really know who I am right now
I feel pressure from the people that I love, and it hurts
But I know I gotta do it, gotta put me first
Losin' myself tryin' to make you proud
Sorry, gotta do it, gotta let you down
'Cause I don't really know who I am right now
No, I don't really know who I am right now
And it broke my heart when I cancelled tour
Had my soul and my head going back and forth (oh)
And I don't know how I'm gonna face you now
Sorry, gotta do it, gotta let you down (ooh)
'Cause I don't really know who I am right now
No, I don't understand who I am right now
So I bought a new place in a warmer town
No, I don't really know who I am right now
