[Verse 1]
Another day, another mask,
Another burden, another task.
Everyone wants a piece of me,
But nobody asks what it costs to be.
I'm so tired of pretending I'm okay,
Smiling through another breaking day.
Every expectation pulls me down,
And I'm too exhausted to make a sound.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
They say "keep going,"
Like it's that easy.
They say "stay strong,"
But I'm barely breathing.
---
[Chorus]
I'm tired...
Tired from expectations.
Tired of carrying everyone's expectations.
Every time I reach the line,
They move it farther every time.
I'm tired...
And I don't know who I am anymore.
I've spent so long trying to be enough,
That I forgot what I was living for.
---
[Verse 2]
Every achievement fades away,
By the time the next demand arrives.
Nothing's ever good enough,
Nothing ever survives.
I'm drowning underneath the weight,
Of every promise I couldn't keep.
Losing pieces of myself,
Just trying to be what they need.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
And nobody sees it,
Nobody knows.
How much of me disappeared
A long time ago.
---
[Chorus]
I'm tired...
Tired from expectations.
Tired of carrying everyone's expectations.
Every time I reach the line,
They move it farther every time.
I'm tired...
And I don't know who I am anymore.
I've spent so long trying to be enough,
That I forgot what I was living for.
---
[Bridge]
If I stopped trying tomorrow,
Would anybody notice?
If I disappeared into the silence,
Would anybody care?
I've spent my whole life
Trying not to disappoint,
And all I got in return
Was this emptiness.
---
[Final Chorus]
I'm tired...
Tired from expectations.
Tired of living for validation.
Every version of myself I made,
Just feels more broken than the last.
I'm tired...
And I don't know how to start again.
I'm standing in a room full of people,
And I've never felt so alone.
---
[Outro]
Another day,
Another mask.
Another burden,
Another task.
I'm tired.
So tired.
Dayzzz
