I'm just trying to kill the silence

I'm ripping off the blinds

I'm just trying to let some light in

But I've been on the road

I've been missing home

See it on my phone that the world back there

Keep spinning 'round without me

I'm waking up my mind

I'm ripping off the blinds

Oh I (Oh I)

Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes

But life (But life)

Just seems to happen right before my eyes

'Cause I feel like I'm not there

'Cause my head is up somewhere

Far away from all my friends

I just want that back again

Oh I (Oh I)

Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes

It's hard sometimes

But when I come off cold

I'm not doing it on purpose

You caught me in a hole

That I dig for myself when I'm nervous

I've been on the road

I've been missing home

See it on my phone that my friends back there

Got inside jokes without me

Oh, woah

Don't mean to come off cold

I don't want to be alone

Oh I (Oh I)

Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes (Hard sometimes)

But life (But life)

Just seems to happen right before my eyes (Before my eyes)

'Cause I feel like I'm not there

'Cause my head is up somewhere

Far away from all my friends

I just want that back again

Oh I (Oh I)

Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes

(Hard sometimes)

I don't feel like myself and

I can't help being selfish

Sometimes the pressure gets the best of me

Oh I, oh I

Oh I

Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes

But life

Just seems to happen, it's just passing by, oh

'Cause I feel like I'm not there

'Cause my head is up somewhere

Far away from all my friends

I just want that back again

Oh I (Oh I)

Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes

(Hard sometimes)

'Cause it's hard sometimes
