[Intro]

(I've been carrying this weight for way too long)

[Verse 1]

Pretending that I'm fine

But everything feels wrong

[Rap 1]

Look, look...

I wake up every morning with a knot inside my chest

Trying to convince myself that I don't need to decompress

But the mirror shows a stranger, and I barely recognize

All the pain behind the person that I'm trying to disguise

They keep asking how I'm doing

But they don't really want to know

'Cause the truth is kinda heavy

And most people let it go

I've been building all these walls just to keep myself protected

But I'm starting to realize that I'm feeling disconnected

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm at my breaking point

Can't keep holding on

Everything I thought I knew is slowly coming undone

[Chorus]

I'm tired of pretending that I got it all together

I'm tired of acting like this pain don't last forever

I need somebody to tell me that it's okay to fall apart

'Cause I've been hiding who I am behind this broken heart

[Rap 2]

Listen, I've been running from the thoughts inside my head

Every conversation I wish I could have said

All the chances that I missed because I stayed inside my room

All the bridges I burned because I left a little soon (why?)

I don't know what's wrong with me, I push away the good

I sabotage the happiness like nobody else could

I'm an expert at destroying what I'm supposed to hold tight

Then I wonder why I'm always in this never ending fight

[Verse 2]

Maybe I'm not broken

Maybe I'm just bent

Maybe all this struggle's just the way that life was meant

Maybe there's a reason for the scars upon my soul

Maybe breaking down is the only way to make me whole

[Rap 3]

So I'm standing at the crossroads

And I gotta make a choice

Do I listen to my demons?

Or do I trust my inner voice?

All the people in my corner keep on telling me to fight

But it's hard to see the exit

When you're standing in the night (I can't)

But I'm tired of being tired

And I'm done with giving up

Maybe it's time to empty out this overwhelming cup

I don't need to have the answers

I just need to take a step

'Cause the only way I'm moving is if I can find my breath!

[Chorus]

I'm tired of pretending that I got it all together

I'm tired of acting like this pain don't last forever

I need somebody to tell me that it's okay to fall apart

'Cause I've been hiding who I am behind this broken heart

I've been carrying this weight for way too long

[Outro]

Maybe it's time to write a different kind of song
