Bad Thoughts Songtext
von Rachel Platten

Breathe in
Breathe out

Can someone tell me I′m not going crazy?
The thoughts in my head make me hate me
Maybe I'm too far from saving

Can someone check that the room isn′t spinning?
It seems like the oxygen's thinning
The monsters in my head keep on winning

I'm bigger than the bad thoughts
I′m better than the way they make me feel
I won′t let the bad thoughts (mm)
Take the wheel

I'm bigger than the bad thoughts
I′m brighter than the light they're tryna steal
Oh
So why do they feel so real?

Breathe in
Breathe out


Sometimes I don′t like the cards that I'm handed
Life can seem too hard to manage
I′m proud of myself for just standing

When light feels so real that the door shuts on reason
Voice in my head preys on my biggest weakness
I count my breaths, one, two, three, four

I'm bigger than the bad thoughts
I'm better than the way they make me feel
I won′t let the bad thoughts (mm)
Take the wheel

I′m bigger than the bad thoughts
I'm brighter than the light they′re tryna to steal
Oh
But why did it feel so real

When I know they're not real?

Breathe in
Breathe out

Just ′cause I think something don't make it true
I′ve been here before but I've gotten through
Maybe not now but I'll be okay soon
Maybe not now but I′ll be okay soon


I′m bigger than the bad thoughts
I'm brighter than the light they′re tryna steal
I won't let the bad thoughts (mm)
Take the wheel

I′m bigger than the lonely nights
I'm brighter than the light they′re tryna steal
Oh
So why do they feel so real?

And I know they're not real
Bad thoughts aren't real

I′ma be alright, I′ma be alright
I'ma be alright, I′ma be alright
I'ma be alright, I′ma be alright
I'ma be alright, I′ma be alright, I'ma be

I'ma be alright, I′ma be alright
I′ma be alright, I'ma be alright
I′ma be alright, I'ma be alright
I′ma be alright, I'ma be alright

I′ma be alright, I'ma be alright
I'ma be alright, I′ma be alright
I′ma be alright, I'ma be alright
I′ma be alright, I'ma be alright (whoa, oh)
