Don't know when it got this heavy Don't know when it got this hard Every morning, getting up tired Like I've been running in the dark Old pain never leaves New pain keeps coming Never enough time to heal There's always something hurting Just keep going, one more morning One more night, then one more day But surviving gets so rough I'm barely feeling alive Some days it gets unbearable More than anyone should hold All this weight keeps building up There's nowhere left to put it I don't need a perfect life I just need one I can carry No need for everything to change Just need it not to hurt this badly Sometimes it gets a little lighter Just long enough to breathe Then the weight comes back again And it's heavier than me Every hour takes too long Every breath feels like a fight Maybe tomorrow will be different Maybe tomorrow will make it right Tired of fighting every morning Tired of learning how to cope Tired of calling this surviving And pretending it is hope Some days it gets unbearable More than anyone should hold All this weight keeps building up There's nowhere left to put it I don't need a perfect life I just need one I can carry No need for everything to change Just need it not to hurt this badly There have been nights I've wanted out Nights when leaving felt like peace When all the pain became too loud And there was nowhere left to breathe But maybe there's a difference One I never let myself believe Maybe what I'm really asking for Is somewhere I can finally rest Maybe I'm not asking for an ending Maybe I'm just asking for some peace All this talk about leaving this life When all I want is to be free I don't need a perfect life I just need one I can carry No need to love every day Just need a life that doesn't bury me No need for everything to change No need to feel okay Just need this life to hurt a little less Long enough to find a way Maybe I'm not asking for an ending Maybe I'm just asking for some peace I don't want to go I just want the pain to leave
