## Lyrics

**[Intro: UPSAHL & iann dior]**

Hey, at least in my mind

I'm feelin' like I'm the hero that saves me

There, I hold my head high

Get everything right

Delusional maybe

**[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]**

Yo, this whole last year was a shit show

Just findin' out now what I didn't know

Seems like each time when I get low

I place blame everywhere that it shouldn't go

And that's what's keeping me up

Fallin' apart, man, I keep it a buck

You still act like I'm holding you up

I still feel like I'm totally nuts, so

**[Pre-Chorus: iann dior]**

Tell me what I should have said and I'll pretend to know that

Things come out my mouth that I should probably learn to hold back

Why do I expect to have the patience that I don't have?

Over and over, expecting a different result, yeah

**[Chorus: UPSAHL & iann dior]**

Hey, at least in my mind

I'm feelin' like I'm the hero that saves me

There, I hold my head high

Get everything right

Delusional maybe

If I'm pretending, why not write happy endings

Where I'm better than we both know I could be, oh

Still, at least in my mind

I'm feelin' like I'm the hero that saves me

**[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]**

They like, "Hey, Mike

You can't keep kickin' yourself for the things you say like

There's some people that you could never make right"

And really, do I wanna sweat shit? No

I know I don't wanna let this go

Hold it inside, let it take control

**[Pre-Chorus: iann dior]**

Tell me what I should have said and I'll pretend to know that

Things come out my mouth that I should probably learn to hold back

Why do I expect to have the patience that I don't have?

Over and over and over and over and, oh my god

**[Chorus: UPSAHL & iann dior]**

Hey, at least in my mind

I'm feelin' like I'm the hero that saves me

There, I hold my head high

Get everything right

Delusional maybe

If I'm pretending, why not write happy endings

Where I'm better than we both know I could be, oh

Still, at least in my mind

I'm feelin' like I'm the hero that saves me

**[Verse 3: Mike Shinoda]**

I keep tellin' myself to stop caring

‘Cause they live for keepin' me staring

And they'll drag it on to make me respond

To get more retweets and more sharing

I don't need the manager, no Karen

‘Cause what's wrong seems so apparent

‘Cause I'm too alive, with bad fuckin' vibes

And I'm so damn sick of bein' stuck inside, 'side, 'side, 'side, yeah

**[Chorus: UPSAHL & iann dior, *UPSAHL*]**

Hey, at least in my mind

I'm feelin' like I'm *(Like I'm)* the hero that saves me *(Ah)*

There, I hold my head high *(Yeah)*

Get everything right *(Right)*

Delusional maybe *(Maybe)*

If I'm pretending, why not write happy endings

Where I'm better than we both know I could be, oh *(Know I could be, know I could be)*

Still, at least in my mind *(In my mind, yeah)*

I'm feelin' like I'm *(Like I'm)* the hero that saves me *(Yeah, ah)*

**[Outro: UPSAHL & iann dior]**

If I'm pretending, why not write happy endings

I-If I'm pretending, why not write happy endings

I-If I'm pretending, why not write happy endings

I-If I'm pretending, why not write happy endings
