Berikut ini lirik lagu “Merry Go Round” dari Clinton Kane.
[Verse 1]
I sell my soul to feel alive again
Some days, I wish I could pretend
So sick?of?wakin' up in?the mornings
I find myself prayin' to?God again
I don't know if I hear a friend
'Cause it's just me, doin' the talkin'
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm stuck inside this merry go round
Don't know if I wanna get out
What's so wrong with bein' honest?
[Chorus]
'Cause I drink too much, I think too much
I barely like myself enough
I say, "I'm fine", but I hurt inside
I fall in love, I fuck it up
Then wonder what the fuck it was
It's all a lie, and I'm terrified
[Verse 2]
All my days feelin' like weeks again
I find myself spirallin'
With every turn, I lose a piece of my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Stuck inside this merry go round
Don't know if I wanna get out
What's so wrong with bein' honest?
[Chorus]
'Cause I drink too much, I think too much
I barely like myself enough
I say, "I'm fine", but I hurt inside
I fall in love, I fuck it up
Then wonder what the fuck it was
It's all a lie, and I'm terrified
[Bridge]
And I'm on my knees, surrounded
Just underneath, I'm drownin'
And it's all a lie, and I'm terrified
[Chorus]
I drink too much, I think too much
I barely like myself enough
I say, "I'm fine", but I hurt inside
I fall in love, I fuck it up
Then wonder what the fuck it was
It's all a lie, and I'm terrified
