Speaking daily about positive mindset and staying strong Preaching gratitude and happiness in every single song But the truth behind my smile is I'm battling dark thoughts Depression medication hidden where it can't be caught Teaching people how to rise Above their lows and reach the skies But my own mental health declines Hiding behind motivational lines [Chorus1] I'm a motivational speaker crying Behind the scenes I'm slowly dying While I'm preaching "choose happiness" I'm drowning in my own distress Inspiration is my brand But I can't even understand Making videos on morning routines, showing my productive days But I'm staying in bed till noon lost in a depressive haze Telling followers to stay positive while I'm fighting to survive The irony is crushing but I need this job to stay alive Affirmations on my feed But I don't believe what I lead Talking mindset all day long While my mental health is wrong [Chorus1] I'm a motivational speaker crying Behind the scenes I'm slowly dying While I'm preaching "choose happiness" I'm drowning in my own distress Inspiration is my brand But I can't even understand [Chorus2] Rise and grind, that's what I say But I can barely face the day Behind my energetic show Lives someone you'll never know Maybe I should seek the help That I'm always selling to myself [Bridge] Some think I've got life figured out But I'm filled with so much doubt The distance between what I preach And the darkness I can't reach [Chorus1] I'm a motivational speaker crying Behind the scenes I'm slowly dying While I'm preaching "choose happiness" I'm drowning in my own distress Inspiration is my brand But I can't even understand [Chorus2] Rise and grind, that's what I say But I can barely face the day Behind my energetic show Lives someone you'll never know Maybe I should seek the help That I'm always selling to myself [Outro] Speaker crying Own distress Never know
