When you're inside your own head too much and you can't tell if you wrote this about yourself or about a friend of yours. Either way, I hope it helps.
lyrics
You're okay but you're under attack
You're always searching to find out
The answers to what's going wrong
You'll only find them when they're gone
Our thoughts are with you now
You're what counts
You're alright but you're wearing thin
You only speak of where you've been
Old thoughts can lift you up but don't hold too tight on to them
They'll never give you what you once had been
It might not be clear if you've grown
You'll only disappear until you let go
Sinking deeper down in everyday
Underneath all you couldn't change
If you think you've ever reached the point
Where folding in is the only option
Quitting is just how to stop this
Don't hesitate to come or call, alright?
