[Intro]
mm
don’t ask me if I'm okay tonight
Seriously
[Verse 1]
everybody’s loud lately
every little thing gets under my skin
one more comment, one more problem
and I swear I might lose it
head hurts, chest tight
whole body feels off
still expected to act normal
like I’m not barely holding on
and people keep pushing
till they finally get a reaction
then suddenly I’m “too sensitive”
for cracking under all the pressure they added
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m so tired
of surviving people
[Chorus]
running on nothing
still carrying this weight
still showing up
with a smile I fake
running on nothing
while everybody takes
one more piece of me
like there’s more left to break
oh-oh
my patience died weeks ago
yeah-yeah
but nobody noticed though
running on nothing
and honestly? I’m pissed off now
[Post-Chorus]
(la-la-la)
don’t push me tonight
(la-la-la)
I’m too close to snapping
[Verse 2]
I’m tired of being understanding
tired of biting my tongue
people say things carelessly
then act shocked when I shut off
because after a while
even strong people get thin from it
every insult stays somewhere
even when you pretend it didn’t
and honestly?
I don’t even feel sad lately
just angry and exhausted
like my whole system hates me
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep giving people grace
while nobody gives it back
[Chorus]
running on nothing
head spinning again
trying not to crash out
over things they said
running on nothing
but expected to cope
while everybody keeps pulling
on the last thread of hope
oh-oh
I need silence, not opinions
yeah-yeah
before I go emotionally numb
running on nothing
and still nobody lets up
[Bridge]
I’m not dramatic
I’m exhausted
big difference
you can only take so much
before anger becomes
the only thing keeping you upright
[Chorus]
running on nothing
but the world keeps asking more
more patience
more effort
more emotional control
running on nothing
and my whole body aches
from acting stronger
than I actually feel these days
oh-oh
I’m so tired of carrying this alone
yeah-yeah
I just wanna breathe for a second
running on nothing…
but tomorrow still expects me awake
[Outro]
head hurts
heart hurts
still functioning somehow
Beexii
