Lyrics
I'm waking up my mind I'm just trying to kill the silence I'm ripping off the blinds I'm just trying to let some light in But I've been on the road I've been missing home See it on my phone that the world back there Keep spinning 'round without me
I'm waking up my mind I'm ripping off the blinds
Oh I (Oh I) Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes But life (But life) Just seems to happen right before my eyes 'Cause I feel like I'm not there 'Cause my head is up somewhere Far away from all my friends I just want that back again Oh I (Oh I) Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes It's hard sometimes
But when I come off cold I'm not doing it on purpose You caught me in a hole That I dig for myself when I'm nervous I've been on the road I've been missing home See it on my phone that my friends back there Got inside jokes without me Oh, woah Don't mean to come off cold I don't want to be alone
Oh I (Oh I) Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes (Hard sometimes) But life (But life) Just seems to happen right before my eyes (Before my eyes) 'Cause I feel like I'm not there 'Cause my head is up somewhere Far away from all my friends I just want that back again Oh I (Oh I) Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes (Hard sometimes)
I don't feel like myself and I can't help being selfish Sometimes the pressure gets the best of me Oh I, oh I
Oh I Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes But life Just seems to happen, it's just passing by, oh 'Cause I feel like I'm not there 'Cause my head is up somewhere Far away from all my friends I just want that back again Oh I (Oh I) Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes (Hard sometimes) 'Cause it's hard sometimes

From Dork
Ruel’s accounts of ‘Hate Myself’ and ‘Debbie Don’t Cry’ trace two very different songwriting breakthroughs: a first session that finally clicked, and a late-night joke that survived until morning.
Arthur Hill’s route from the Electric Ballroom to an OVO Arena Wembley headline was built through EPs, touring and a catalogue that kept expanding in public.
Ruel described ‘Cats on the Ceiling’ as a song about loosening self-control, embracing uncertainty and leaving space for listeners’ own interpretations.
Ruel steps further into his own lane one heartfelt chorus at a time.
