Every day is a pain

Verse 1

(Acoustic guitar strumming slowly, building up)

I wake up and I check the time, same routine

Tryna keep my head straight, keep my peace clean

I try my best every single day just to get through

Navigating through the noise, holding onto what's true

Trying my best not to go crazy when the pressure's high

Just tryna live a good life under the same old sky.

Chorus

(Beat drops in, more energy)

I don't understand what it takes to make you happy, no

I give it all I got, but it's never enough, it's driving me crazy

I try to live right, I try to stay strong, see it through

Honestly, you make it hard for me to know what to do.

Verse 2

(Drums and bass rolling)

Got my sister, got you, got my grandma, my aunt, and my uncle too

Everybody wanting pieces of the energy I pursue

I'm running on empty, trying to spread myself thin

Trying to satisfy the world just to let some peace in

It feels like a game where the rules always change on sight

So heavy on my shoulders every single night.

Chorus

I don't understand what it takes to make you happy, no

I give it all I got, but it's never enough, it's driving me crazy

I try to live right, I try to stay strong, see it through

Honestly, you make it hard for me to know what to do.

Bridge

(Stripped back, emotional vocals)

Maybe the secret is stopping the race

Giving myself a little room and some space

When trying to please everyone wears you down to the core

Sometimes you gotta take a breath and quit trying to carry it all anymore.

Outro

(Fade out with gentle guitar chords)

Yeah, I quit trying every day...

To be what you want me to be.

Maybe it's time... to just be me.
