[Intro]
Whispers in the shadows, echoes of my pain,
Sitting in this circle, I feel so alone again.
[Verse 1]
Group therapy, the walls close in tight,
Darkness creeping, swallowing the light.
Every little noise makes my heart race fast,
Blackouts in my mind, I’m trapped in the past.
[Pre-Chorus]
Why me, Lord? Why’d you save me that day?
Begging for an answer, but I can't find my way.
[Chorus]
I’m tired, oh so tired, of the battles I fight,
Wrestling with shadows that vanish in light.
I just want to give up, let the silence take hold,
End this heavy burden, turn my heart to stone.
[Verse 2]
PTSD like a thief, stealing peace from my mind,
Flashbacks and night terrors, no refuge to find.
Afraid of the footsteps that echo behind,
Longing for a moment of solace, unconfined.
[Pre-Chorus]
Why me, Lord? I’m pleading for a sign,
The weight of the darkness is heavy on my spine.
[Chorus]
I’m tired, oh so tired, of the battles I fight,
Wrestling with shadows that vanish in light.
I just want to give up, let the silence take hold,
End this heavy burden, turn my heart to stone.
[Bridge]
In the depths of despair, I search for some light,
Sitting in my tent, wishing to drift into night.
But there’s still a whisper that breaks through my fear,
Hold on for tomorrow, keep pushing, stay here.
[Chorus]
I’m tired, oh so tired, but I’ll try to stand tall,
Picking up the pieces, even when I fall.
I don’t want to give up, I’ll fight through the pain,
Just searching for the sun behind the pouring rain.
[Outro]
So here I am, feeling every scar,
Hoping for healing, I’ll reach for a star.
Maybe there’s a chance, maybe I’ll be free,
Learning how to live again, embracing me.
