Lyrics That Put Mental Health Issues into Words

Posted by on

 

When you're not feeling yourself, it can be quite easy to feel as though you're alone, or you can't put your feelings into words.  For those times when you just need a song to say exactly what you feel, we've put together a list of lyrics that you can identify with.  

 

 

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me

Unwell - Matchbox Twenty

Don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
Just do your best
Do everything you can

The Middle - Jimmy Eats World

Fight it, take the pain, ignite it
Tie a noose around your mind
Loose enough to breath fine and tie it
To a tree tell it, you belong to me, this ain't a noose
This is a leash and I have news for you
You must obey me

Holding On to You -  twenty one pilots

I just want to know today, know today, know today
I just want to know something today
I just want to know today, know today, know today
Know that maybe I will be okay

Be OK - Ingrid Michaelson

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

Iris - The Goo Goo Dolls

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one would ever change this animal I have become
And help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal

 Animal I Have Become - Three Days Grace

She's imperfect, but she tries
She is good, but she lies
She is hard on herself
She is broken and won't ask for help
She is messy, but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone, but she used to be mine

She Used to Be Mine - Sara Bareilles

So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself
And before I blame someone else, I've got to save myself
And before I love someone else, I've got to love myself

Save Myself -  Ed Sheeran

It's just a spark
But it's enough
To keep me going

And when it's dark out
No one's around
It keeps glowing

It's just a spark
But it's enough
To keep me going

And when it's dark out
No one's around
It keeps glowing

Heavy - Linkin Park

It can be hard
It can be so hard
But you gotta live right now
You got everything to give right now

 1-800-273-8255 - Logic feat Alessia Cara, Khalid

High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
I will try to fix you

How can I live in the moment
When my thoughts never feel like my own and
Don't know how to admit that I'm broken

I Can’t Breathe -  Bea Miller

Help me, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up
No medicine is strong enough
Someone help me
I'm crawling in my skin
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't
It isn't in my blood

In My Blood - Shawn Mendes
