Big White Room Lyrics

Sitting in a big white room alone
Tilt my head back, feel the tears roll down
Cause my eyes can't see in the dark
I feel young, broken, so so scared
I don't wanna be here anymore
Wanna be somewhere else
Normal and free, like I used to be
But I have to stay in this big white room
With little old me

I'm going crazy
I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy
In this big white room of mine
I'm going crazy
I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy
In this big white room of mine

Sitting in a big white room alone
Close the door
Don't want the pain to come in
I clench my fist
And try to stay strong
I cry, feel sick
My heart is beating out of control
Can I run more faster than you
I wanna feel my body again
Feel the wind in my hair

But I have to stay in this big white room
Cos no one else cares

I'm going crazy
I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy
In this big white room of mine
I'm going crazy
I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy
In this big white room of mine

Everybody's looking at me
Everybody's staring at me
What do I do now
Smile, yeah
Everybody's looking at me
Everybody's staring at me
What do I do now
Smile, yeah

I'm going crazy
I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy
In this big white room of mine
I'm going crazy
I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy
In this big white room of mine

Sitting in a big white room alone 
Tilt my head back, feel the tears roll down 
Cause my eyes can't see in the dark 
I feel young, broken, so so scared 
I don't wanna be here anymore 
Wanna be somewhere else 
Normal and free, like I used to be 
But I have to stay in this big white room 
With little old me

I'm going crazy 
I'm losing my mind 
I'm going crazy 
In this big white room of mine 
I'm going crazy 
I'm losing my mind 
I'm going crazy 
In this big white room of mine

I'm going crazy 
In this big white room of mine 
I'm going crazy 
I'm losing my mind

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

She wrote Big White Room when she was 17 and it is about an experience from when she was 10 and in hospital. She has an irregular heartbeat and got admitted into hospital because of it. She woke up in the night and saw the boy opposite her praying not to die and the next morning unfortunatly he had, she asked her mum why he died as he asked to be saved. She wanted to write asong about the experience but didnt want it to be tacky so she waited until she was 17. It is the first song she ever wrote.
