    Just listened to the new album for the first time wondering around a great park in Budapest. It made me very proud to be from Melbourne. Cannot wait to see Alex Lahey in Berlin!

    I've gained weight and I drink too much. Maybe that's why you dont love me as much!
    Love it so true, relatable but lighthearted.

    Alex's songs are like tiny little mental health pep talks that end up making you good afterwards...

    LYRICS
    You were my drug, now I'm withdrawing
    When you're in my blood, nothing's ever boring
    I feel it through my veins, so eager to please
    You give me chest pains, and let my heart rate ease
    Is this blood on my hands or is it just red wine?
    I find I'm thinking 'bout you nearly all of the night
    I make up these excuses for the reasons we should meet
    Is this an addiction or is this just a repeat?
    I haven't been taking care of myself
    I've forgotten what it's like to be in good health
    I've gained weight and I drink too much
    Maybe that's why you don't love me as much
    I need to start taking care of myself
    Distracting me from what's important
    But you don't care, and I'm losing focus
    You push me to the edge, and then you pull me back
    I swear to God, I'll have a heart attack
    My skin's breaking out and I don't like what I see
    When I walk past shiny surfaces, I don't like being me
    You say that you want me but you don't act like you do
    I'm pretty sure my mum said be careful around you
    I haven't been taking care of myself
    I've forgotten what it's like to be in good health
    I've gained weight and I drink too much
    Maybe that's why you don't love me as much
    I need to start taking care of myself
    I don't care that all my clothes
    Smell like your second-hand smoke
    I'll make any compromise
    If it keeps you by my side
    I don't know why
    I haven't been taking care of myself
    I've forgotten what it's like to be in good health
    I've gained weight and I drink too much
    Maybe that's why you don't love me as much
    I need to start taking care of myself
    Do da da, do da da
    Do da da do wah-oh!
    Do da da, do da da
    Do da da do wah-oh!
    Do da da, do da da
    Do da da do wah-oh!
    Do da da, do da da
    Do da da do wah-oh!

    I can relate A LOT... When you're not taking care of yourself or doing the things you want because you put someone else's necessities and desires before yours. Is sad, but it happens AND you can get out of there. There's hope, people.
