(Verse 1)

Woke up with the weight of the world on my chest

Dragging my dreams through a war with no rest

Coffee’s gone cold, and my hands start to shake

But I’ve got a fire that won’t let me break

(Pre-Chorus)

Every step feels like climbing a hill

Every breath takes more of my will

But I hear a whisper that won’t let me be still

(Chorus)

I’m so tired, I don’t know if I can take it

Another heartbreak, another mistake

But I can’t give up, there’s too much at stake

It’s not about wanting —

I have to make it

(Verse 2)

Everyone’s smiling like they’ve figured it out

While I’m just surviving through silence and doubt

But there’s something inside me too stubborn to fade

A voice in the dark that keeps calling my name

(Pre-Chorus)

My heart is worn, but it still keeps a beat

In the ruins, I’m finding my feet

And I know I was built for more than defeat

(Chorus)

I’m so tired, I don’t know if I can take it

One more fall, one more piece that could break

But I can’t give up, this road’s mine to stake

It’s not about hoping —

I have to make it

(Bridge)

Let ‘em say it’s crazy, let ‘em think I’m lost

They don’t see the scars, they don’t count the cost

But this soul was made for rising again

Even when it ends, that’s not where I end

(Final Chorus)

I’m so tired, I don’t know if I can take it

Another storm, another high-stakes quake

But I can’t give up, for my own heart’s sake

It’s not about dreaming —

I have to make it

(Outro)

I have to make it…

Even if I break.

I have to make it.


The weight of these first 8 weeks of 4 years is exhausting. Many people seem oblivious to the threats - I see them smiling and carefree. Not me, not me

I need a day away and this is it..back tomorrow.
