Another Day in the Grind

[Verse 1] Don’t make me think, it gives me a headache Every thought feels like a bill I gotta pay Brain won’t shut up, keeps running its mouth I just woke up, already burned out I’m smiling for no reason, yeah that’s the truth Not ‘cause it’s perfect, just ‘cause I’m still here too Sun in my eyes, concrete under my feet That’s about as deep as I need it to be [Pre-Chorus] I don’t want answers, don’t want a sign Just one good day without losing my mind [Chorus] Don’t make me think, don’t slow me down Life’s loud enough in this beat-up town Bills on the table, love on my brain Everyone wants something, everyone’s strained I’m not fixed, I’m not free I’m just happy to be me Right now, right here, honestly— Don’t make me think, just let me be [Verse 2] Rent’s due again like it’s personal Numbers on paper feel intentional Chasing a paycheck, running in place Clock on the wall screaming in my face Street corner stories, hands held out I ain’t heartless, just worn the fuck out Feels like everybody’s asking for a piece And I’m trying to hold on to what’s left of me [Pre-Chorus] I give what I can, but I’m barely afloat Got my own weight trying to keep me broke [Chorus] Don’t make me think, it hurts too much World’s already heavy when it starts to rush Work just to work, sleep just to try Love feels fragile, hope feels shy I don’t need heaven, don’t need relief Just one less worry digging in my teeth Don’t make me think, don’t make me see All the ways this life keeps testing me [Bridge] I don’t hate my job, I hate the grind Hate how my time’s never really mine Hate how love feels like a risk Hate that calm is something I miss But I’m still laughing at dumb shit on my phone Still singing loud when I’m alone Still here, still breathing somehow That’s gotta count for something now [Final Chorus] Don’t make me think, I’ve thought enough I carried this day, that’s more than tough Bills, love, pain, routine Same old story, different scene I’m not winning, I’m not gone I just keep pushing, moving on If that’s all I ever get to be— I’m smiling anyway, yeah that’s me [Outro] Don’t make me think… I’m already here.
