Lewis Capaldi - A Cure For Minds Unwell

Wakin' up too early, static on the TV
Dressed in all the clothes I had on
When yesterday decided I didn't need to fight
With the hours and the seconds no more

Doin' all the things that I'm supposed to
Workin' every day the way that most do
Smilin' while I'm hidin' what I'm goin' through
But you know, you know, you know

That if I'm bein' honest
I couldn't tell you this is all I wanted
I struggle sleepin' 'cause the house feels haunted
Filled with the shadows of regret and the things I should've said
To the ones I laid to rest, and lately
I'm terrified that all my youth is fading
Man, growin' old is so excruciating
Is there a cure for minds unwell? 'Cause my head's a livin' hell
If I'm honest with myself

Stumble as I'm leavin', one foot takes the lead, and
Second seems to struggle to find
A solitary reason to continue seekin'
Any use in walkin' this line

Doin' all the things that I'm supposed to
Workin' every day the way that most do
Smilin' while I'm hidin' what I'm goin' through
But you know, you know, you know

That if I'm bein' honest
I couldn't tell you this is all I wanted
I struggle sleepin' 'cause the house feels haunted
Filled with the shadows of regret and the things I should've said
To the ones I laid to rest, and lately
I'm terrified that all my youth is fading
Man, growin' old is so excruciating
Is there a cure for minds unwell? 'Cause my head's a livin' hell
If I'm honest with myself

So how am I supposed to see an end
To my all-consuming, constant fear and dread
When I can't even seem to make it out of bed?

Yeah, if I'm bein' honest
I couldn't tell you this is all I wanted
I struggle sleepin' 'cause the house feels haunted
Filled with the shadows of regret and the things I should've said
To the ones I laid to rest, and lately
I'm terrified that all my youth is fading
Man, growin' old is so excruciating
Is there a cure for minds unwell? 'Cause my head's a livin' hell
If I'm honest with myself
