Lyrics
🤍🌸🤍🌸
I don’t want to live like this
Waking up feels like a punishment
And sleep’s the only time I feel okay
I’ve stopped answering the phone
I watch the texts come in and fade
I’m not trying to be dramatic
I just don’t have the strength today
They ask me how I’m doing
And I say, “I’m just tired”
But the truth is so much darker
And I’m running out of quiet
I feel like I’m breaking
And it’s taking too long
To be okay
To feel like I matter
I don’t want advice
I just want the pain
To stop
So don’t tell me I’m strong
I don’t feel strong
Sometimes i just want the days to stop
Today might be one of them
I don’t want a lesson
I don’t want a prayer
I just want it to end
I cleaned my room like it mattered
Lit a candle just to feel control
Sat on the edge of my bed
And stared
At everything
and nothing
at all
They ask me how I’m doing
And I say, “I’m just tired”
But the truth is so much darker
And I’m running out of quiet
I feel like I’m breaking
And it’s taking too long
To be okay
To feel like I matter
I don’t want advice
I just want the pain
To stop
So don’t tell me I’m strong
I don’t feel strong
Don’t tell me it gets better
I don’t need hope right now
I need someone
this hurts
it’s heavy
it’s real
I’m not asking to be rescued
I’m just tired of pretending
That I want to stay
I know people will say they cared
After I’m gone
But I needed that before
Not after
Not in flowers
Not in songs
I don’t hate anyone
I’m just tired of hurting
I’ve screamed every silent scream
And no one heard a thing
They ask me how I’m doing
And I say, “I’m just tired”
But the truth is so much darker
And I’m running out of quiet
I feel like I’m breaking
And it’s taking too long
To be okay
To feel like I matter
I don’t want advice
I just want the pain
To stop
So don’t tell me I’m strong
I don’t feel strong
Just know
I tried
I swear
I tried
