I made a promise to myself 

I would try being honest and ask for help 

'Cause I need it 

But it's hard to admit that

I'm working overtime 

Been giving my all to get back a little

It don't make it easier

I can never convince myself to settle

I feel so lucky I get to do this

Telling my stories through the music

But I'm running out of things to tell

'Cause I won't give myself a break

Stressed out

Oh, I can't take another breakdown

Look into the mirror and

Breathe out, breathe out 

(Out – out)

So baby don't stress out

I know it ain't easy but calm down 

You know it's gonna get better

Don't stress out 

(Out – out)

Too many troubles to write about

Still I get along with them somehow

I can't sleep 'cause I'm thinking

I can't find the meaning

It's gonna take some time (ah ah)

I'm getting caught up in the middle

It will get easier (ah)

If I slow down and keep it simple

I feel so lucky I get to do this

Telling my stories through the music

But I'm running out of things to tell

'Cause I won't give myself a break

Stressed out

Oh, I can't take another breakdown

Look into the mirror and

Breathe out, breathe out 

(Out – out)

So baby don't stress out

I know it ain't easy but calm down 

You know it's gonna get better

Don't stress out 

(Out – out)

I feel so lucky I get to do this

Telling my story through the music

But I'm running out of things to tell

Cause I won't give myself a break
