I know it's coincidental

But I'm getting kind of mental

'Cause every time I'm busy

Yeah your mood goes straight south

When I try to reassemble

And you're not feeling level

But I can't be the only one that's helping you out

I didn't apply to sacrifice all of myself to you

And all of my time was wasted trying to be there to get you through

I'm working the night shift

Spending all of my time

Helping your mind shift while I'm losing mine

Working the night shift

Think I'm going blind

'Cause every time you're crying

I can't see right

Clocking in till I'm all worked out

Got a side gig now

Yeah with a therapy couch

Pay you attention like I pay my rent

And when the last ones sent got a brand new debt cause

Tried to give you the benefit

I give you all of my credit it but

I think we've come to the end of it

You've been maxing it out

I don't have much to give

I'm working the night shift

Spending all of my time

Helping your mind shift while I'm losing mine

Working the night shift

Think I'm going blind

'Cause every time you're crying

I can't see right

You fall asleep too fast

I hope my head don't crash

Don't think that I can last

You're supported

Sometimes I need the same

Been falling thru my brain

I gave myself away

'Cause I need

You, I thought this was a two-way track

Turned around and now there's no way back

Close my eyes and drift away

I'm working the night shift

Spending all of my time

Helping your mind shift while I'm losing mine

Working the night shift

Think I'm going blind

'Cause every time you're crying

I can't see right
