I try
So hard
I try
So hard
But I’m so tired
It’s like the more that I try
The thinner the air gets
The harder it is to breathe
The harder it is to sleep
The harder it is to hold the facade together
Because the glue is wearing
The tape weakening
And the staples holding on by their hooks
I just can’t
Keep
Sacrificing my sanity for your needs
And I can’t
Keep
Sacrificing my sanity for your satisfaction
And I can’t
Keep
Sacrificing my sanity so you can feel secure
And I can’t
Keep
Sacrificing my sanity so you can live comfortably in my world
It’s not fair
While I’m giving you everything
Stepping on eggshells
Talking through sutured lips
Thinking in chains
Letting your toxicity
Pump through my veins
I don’t want to do it anymore
Because I try
So hard
I try
So hard
And I’m
So
Tired
