[Intro] I’m so tired… Three a.m. turns the kitchen tiles blue. I’m so scared… The floorboards whisper through the dark. I’m so lonely… My phone lies dead beside the sink. I’m so ready to break free. [Verse 1] I’ve been wearing a life That hangs like a borrowed coat. Smiling for the people, Then tasting blood behind a locked door. Everybody needs me, So I brace before I hit the floor. But who the hell comes running When my voice wears thin against the wall? I’ve held my breath so long, My ribs forgot the shape of air. I wake up already armored, With yesterday’s teeth in my hands. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t wanna watch tomorrow Through the slats of drawn-up blinds. I don’t wanna spend tonight Counting headlights on the ceiling. I just wanna find the man Who used to meet his own eyes, Before I buried him beneath Every “I’m fine” that kept me alive. [Chorus] I’M SO TIRED, MY BONES HUM LIKE LIVE WIRES. I’M SO SCARED OF THE SILENCE IN THIS HOUSE. I’M SO DONE WITH LOSING ME JUST TO KEEP EVERYBODY FROM TURNING THEIR BACKS ON ME. I’ve bent till my knuckles split. I’ve swallowed sparks to keep the peace. God, I don’t know where I’m going, BUT I’M READY TO BREAK FREE. [Verse 2] I gave pieces of myself away Like loose change in a stranger’s palm. Left my wants in empty rooms Till dust covered all I was. Swallowed every angry word Till rust stained my tongue. Carried every hurt back home And hid it from the sun. Kept telling myself, “Hold on. The lock will turn. The weather will break.” But hope becomes a prison cell When every sunrise draws the same bars. I’m tired of apologizing For taking up the air inside my lungs. I can love what I’m leaving And still step through before the door slams shut. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe freedom ain’t a highway With the windows down and no address. Maybe it’s the first cold morning I don’t reach for someone else To keep me standing when I shake. Maybe freedom’s finally saying, Back pressed hard against the wall: “I can’t keep folding myself smaller Just so nobody else can fall.” [Chorus] I’M SO TIRED, MY BONES HUM LIKE LIVE WIRES. I’M SO SCARED OF THE SILENCE IN THIS HOUSE. I’M SO DONE WITH LOSING ME JUST TO KEEP EVERYBODY FROM TURNING THEIR BACKS ON ME. I’ve bent till my knuckles split. I’ve swallowed sparks to keep the peace. God, I don’t know where I’m going, BUT I’M READY TO BREAK FREE. [Bridge - stripped down] I’m scared of staying, Scared of leaving, Scared the mirror will show a stranger When I scrub this borrowed face clean. But there’s still a pulse knocking Under the concrete in my chest, A coal-red ember in the wreckage That won’t let the dark finish the job. [Build] Let me be scared. Let my hands shake above the keys. Let me say it without sanding down the truth: I ain’t all right. But I’m still here. The room is dark. The lock gives way. Something in me rises to its feet. [Final Chorus] YEAH, I’M TIRED. YEAH, I’M SCARED. I’VE BEEN LONELY, WITH MY NAME CAUGHT BEHIND MY TEETH. BUT I’M DONE WITH LOSING ME. I’M DONE WEARING SOMEBODY ELSE’S SKIN JUST TO KEEP THEM CLOSE. Let the old life crack. Let the chains ring across the floor. I don’t know what comes tomorrow… BUT TONIGHT, I TURN THE HANDLE. I’m so tired… But my feet are moving. I’m so scared… But I’m not going back. I’m so lonely… But I’m finally… READY TO BREAK FREE. [Outro] I don’t need to see where this road ends. I just need the first mile Between me and here.
