all in my head

i scribble notes on a little piece of paper and slap it on my forehead
because i need all the help i can get with whatever lies ahead
time and time again i find myself going around in circles
the feeling of failure leaves me sitting in the corner feeling miserable
i am weighed down by what i promised you i would carry
the shadows lurking in the corner keeps me alert and wary
but i will carry on and keep walking this path for you
because i know if you were in my shoes, you'd walk too
with that in mind i force a smile upon my face and continue
even though what i'm carrying is all in my head, i never knew
