All Time Low

There's more than one Alex at an all time low 
Trying to stay up because I know some people want to see me fall like snow 
But then depression kicks in and it's off the walls I go 
I hope you understand when I say there's more than one Alex at an all time low

Trapped inside these 4 walls as my music blares
The volume turned up so the outside world can't hear the abuse in here
Depression beating me, but the lyrics to the songs remove my fears 
I got caught in a daydream so now depression wants to prove my nightmares 

When it comes to my mistakes I've always been forthcoming 
But depression still wants to ridicule me for my shortcomings 
Depression doesn't want me to live them down
Constantly reminding me of the princess I was dating that I didn't crown 

"You can't handle a goldfish, but now you want to bait a Piranha" 
"you had your heartbroken by a regular girl, but now you want a date with Rihanna"
I reply I'm strong enough to face my karma 
I'm just trying to think good thoughts to erase the drama 

I would have took a bullet for her, but I didn't realise she'd be holding the gun, now it's poor me I'm shot 
I can't deal with this sober, someone tell the bartender to pour me a shot
The more that I learn about love, the more that I'm shocked 
My love for you is dead, I'm putting everything of yours in a box

I feel like screaming, but I don't want anyone to hear all the noise
Depression has me at an all time low saying soon we'll really fall out boy
I've been lost for a while, now I'm trying to find somewhere to call my home
Now you know my battle, you'll understand why Alex Gaskarth isn't the only Alex at an all time low
