Lyrics:
Waking 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
Doing all the things that I’m supposed to
Working everyday the way that most do
Smiling while I’m hiding what I’m going through
But you know, you know, you know

That if I’m being honest
I couldn’t tell you this is all I wanted
I struggle sleeping ‘cos the house feels haunted
Filled with the shadows of regret
and the things I should have said
To the ones I laid to rest
and lately, I’m terrified that all my youth is fading
man, growing old is so excruciating
is there a cure for minds unwell
‘cos my heads a living hell
If I’m honest with myself

Stumble as I’m leaving
One foot takes the lead
Second seems to struggle to find
A solitary reason to continue seeking
Any use in walking this line

Doing all the things that I’m supposed to
Working every day the way that most do
Smiling while I’m hiding what I’m going through
But you know, you know, you know

That if I’m being honest
I couldn’t tell you this is all I wanted
I struggle sleeping ‘cos the house feels haunted
Filled with the shadows of regret
and the things I should have said
To the ones I laid to rest
and lately, I’m terrified that all my youth is fading
man growing old is so excruciating
is there a cure for minds unwell
‘cos my heads a living 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 being honest
I couldn’t tell you this is all I wanted
I struggle sleeping ‘cos the house feels haunted
Filled with the shadows of regret
and the things I should have said
To the ones I laid to rest
and lately, I’m terrified that all my youth is fading
man growing old is so excruciating
is there a cure for minds unwell
‘cos my heads a living hell
If I’m honest with myself

    This man can't make bad songs. He's a poet. Each of his songs has such a significant impact on me, I'll never be tired of listening to him! Lewis, you're amazing
  • @miss_inspire
    I just lost my mum and my nan and dad together this year I'm 27 and this song has just stopped me taking my own life. Just because someone somewhere knows how I feel. Thank you
  • How can someone put how you think and feel so accurately in to an absolute beautiful masterpiece
  • @blondieleigh303
    I’m ugly crying right now. I lost my Dad in June and my grandma (his mom) in October and I’m utterly broken and lost and don’t think I’ll ever recover and get my smile and light back. This song, as well as How I’m Feeling Now, are absolute perfection for describing exactly what I’ve been through. Thank you, Lewis. You are a gift, blessing and a voice for so many ❤️🙏🏻
  • I’m 33, fighting cancer and trying to raise my kids. Lost my job when the cancer spread to my spine and took my legs. Mental health tanked when my best friend took her life. These lyrics feel so personal. This song is incredible Lewis, thank you.

    Lewis, my friend, I hope you read these comments at some point and see how much of an impact your music has on everyone. This includes myself. I have a child who is suicidal, has borderline personality disorder, and anti-social. He and I don’t have much of a relationship as he is toxic to my mental health. I’ve gone through multiple outlets to get him help, but either he gets refused by the provider, gives up, is turned down by health insurance (I’m in the USA), or he manipulates the provider into thinking he’s ok. This has torn apart my mental health, my well-being, and has left my mind unwell. I’m struggling with grief over what my child used to be, parental guilt, and working a dead-end job where I’m helping people who are struggling themselves. I have to bear their burden too. I don’t sleep at night. It’s hard to relieve myself of this burden for relief. I have help, but despite the help…I don’t know if I can do it anymore…
  • @tesstickles1280
    I'm 51 and the part where he says "growing old is so excruciating" hits me so hard because it is so true!
  • I'm 51 years old and I've struggled with the secrets only I know since I was a 11 year old. Depression has nearly killed me so many times. This song says everything I never could. Lewis thank youx
  • Lyrical genius. This one hit hard, 😢 .. excruciating pain living in my home after my son was in a car fatality, I'd also lost my husband prior. Those walls haunted me, I moved forward and relocated to heal the broken bits. I've always called it a healing journey ..We have to focus on the here and now. I know it's hard, just try okay 🌹 And to everyone else here struggling I wish you love strength and hope 2024 🎉 A New Year to embrace ❤
  • @MangoBalloon
    I sit here without hope nor future, and I am glad I found this song before I am gone. Thank you, Lewis.

    It hits so hard man... I moved abroad to Germany from Poland to work as a vet tech, learn the language and travel, save money for uni. Live my life before my chronic, incurable illness takes it away from me. It supposed to be the best time of my life, but if I'm completely honest, I'm struggling really really hard, the hardest in my life I think. I can't say that I'm happy. I have no one here, no family no friends, my beloved doggo passed away. 24/7 chronic pain doesn't help either. I'm crying myself to sleep almost every day. I'm always smiling and I didn't tell anyone about my illness, because I think it's easier this way. But sometimes I just want it all to stop.
  • I am currently battling a disease that there isn't a cure for. My body is slowly killing itself as my joints, hands, and feet aren't working like they should. It feels like broken glass between all my knuckles and bones in my feet. I am too young for this shit, but there is no real cure for it. So many days I push myself to get out of bed, just to put a smile on and act like nothing is wrong. I can barely walk, and I feel like I am about to completely lose that ability. My daughter just had her first birthday...and I don't know how many more I will be around for. I need songs like this! Lewis Capaldi sings our anthems, and we are grateful for his gift!
  • @Na1984
    I feel like he wrote this song about me. My life, my thoughts, my struggles. Wow. I hate that others feel this way too, but in a way it also makes me less alone knowing that I’m not the only one. And that is one reason music has always been so important to me, because it can show or similarities rather than just our differences in a world that feels so divided.
  • @tiffanymeeks9808
    I come to lewis when I need someone to turn my pain into beauty.
  • @mucows
    Having had a breakdown and depression for 13 years of my life, I feel your song and hope you have better days. ❤
  • @user-bu4tf2pw8k
    Lewis just reached inside my daughter’s head and was able to put to words exactly everything she’s been trying to tell me all along. Thank you for this song.
