Fake it 'til you make it has always worked for me
I'm confident and not being drowned by my anxiety
I'm pretending
If I could make my mind up, it'd be a dream
I'm grown, but still preoccupied with all the things that I could be
I need mending
I'm thinking at 23, there's no way to stop these fortnightly crises
So I'll let myself be defined by trying to be as kind as I can be in how much time's been given me
I remember at 18 you said "Jack, I always thought you'd leave."
So are you disappointed to see me on days I can't get out of bed?
When my eyes can't focus past the walls my head puts in the way
This is old paint under new
This is how I'll stay
I'm thinking at 23, there's no way to stop these fortnightly crises
So I'll let myself be defined by trying to be as kind as I can be in how much time's been given me
The rest, we'll have to wait and see
