I haven't slept a full night in a week Got seventeen things I said I'd do by Friday And I'm sitting in my car in the parking lot Trying to remember how to be a person There's a version of me that had it together Or maybe I just got better at pretending Either way she's not here right now And I don't know when she's coming back I just need a minute I just need a minute I just need a minute That belongs to me I'm not gone, I'm just not here right now I'm not lost, I just can't be found Don't call, don't knock, don't need me for a while I love you but I'm running on empty I love you but I'm running on empty Kid's asking something, phone's going off Someone at work needs me to care about something And I do, I swear I do, I'm just Somewhere else right now, I don't know where I made dinner and I checked the homework Put on a voice that sounded like a mother Went through every motion right Then locked the bathroom door and just stood there I just need a minute I just need a minute I just need a minute That belongs to me I'm not gone, I'm just not here right now I'm not lost, I just can't be found Don't call, don't knock, don't need me for a while I love you but I'm running on empty I love you but I'm running on empty I don't know how to ask for help I don't know what I'd even ask for I don't know what would fix this I just know I'm tired I'm so tired Of being the only one who keeps the lights on I'm still here I'm still here I'm still here Just give me a minute
