Burning Out

I’ve been struggling to breath today

Empty lungs but words to say

I medicate to numb the pain

And hope that I don’t fade away

In case you heard I’m doing better now

It’s only ‘cos I’ve learned to hide away

I was hoping that tonight we could pretend like we’re only seventeen

Without problems only dreams

I’ve been trying but it’s hard for me

I’m finding out that it’s only getting harder

I find it tough ‘cos my body’s getting older

I thought by now there’d be something I’d be proud of

Drowning in doubt, that’s all I ever do now

I guess I’m burning out

Can someone show me how?

Can somеone show me?

I feel so worthless, it’s gеtting to me

Everyday is just another dose of apathy

But if you could see what is happening

Maybe you might feel some sympathy

I’m finding out that it’s only getting harder

I find it tough ‘cos my body’s getting older

I thought by now there’d be something I’d be proud of

Drowning in doubt, that’s all I ever do now

I guess I’m burning out

Can someone show me how?

Can someone show me?

I thought of giving up

‘Cos all I give is not enough

Will I falter at the top?

Will anybody give a fu*k?

Is this my life lesson

To live in apprehension?

I’m finding out that it’s only getting harder

I find it tough ‘cos my body’s getting older

I thought by now there’d be something I’d be proud of

Drowning in doubt, that’s all I ever do now

I guess I’m burning out

Can someone show me how?

Can someone show me?
