Lately it seems that life

Is harder than ever before

It doesn’t make a difference

What options I explore

There is a weight on my back

And it’s pushing me down

I tried to self-reflect

And I didn’t like what I found

I don’t want to tell you that

I’m breaking

So I’ll add that to the list of lies

I’m making

I’ll just keep on telling you

That I’m doing fine

I’ve got to make a change

Cause I’m running out of time

I’m breaking

It’s so slow at work

It’s like climbing up a hill

Lately the only thing that’s rising

Is all these bills

Can’t even afford

My membership at the gym

The water keeps on climbing

And I never even learned to swim

I don’t want to tell you that

I’m breaking

So I’ll add that to the list of lies

I’m making

I’ll just keep on telling you

That I’m doing fine

I’ve got to make a change

Cause I’m running out of time

I’m breaking

Day after day the future looks darker

I can’t see how to turn this around

It’s so clear if nothing changes

I might end up in this ground

So I’ll try to swallow my pride

And ask for a helping hand

Sometimes we need a hand up

So that we can stand

I don’t want to tell you that

I’m breaking

So I’ll add that to the list of lies

I’m making

I’ll just keep on telling you

That I’m doing fine

I’ve got to make a change

Cause I’m running out of time

I’m breaking

I don’t want to tell you that

I’m breaking

So I’ll add that to the list of lies

I’m making

I’ll just keep on telling you

That I’m doing fine

I’ve got to make a change

Cause I’m running out of time

I’m breaking
