"i said i don't wanna do it." lyrics

They say
"Wake up, chase your dream"
They say
"Buy a house and join the team"
Wear a tie and smile at screens
But that ain't really me, me, me, yeah

I said I don't wanna do it
If it don't feel like breathing
I'm tired of the proving myself

They say, "Be strong"
They say, "Don't cry"
Guess emotions ain't in style, yeah
But I write sad songs in the dark
I'm not lost, I'm on my way
On a road I chose today

I said I don't wanna do it
If I'm losing my own name
I'd rather be the awkward one in the room
I don't wanna fake the smile
I'm not really so nice
Sorry, are you in shock?

I said I don't wanna do it
If it don't feel like breathing
I'm tired of the proving myself

They say, "Be strong"
They say, "Don't cry"
Guess emotions ain't in style, yeah
But I write sad songs in the dark
I'm not lost, I'm on my way
On a road I chose today
Today

Where the lights are loud
Whisper to myself, um
I just need my silence

They say, "Be strong"
They say, "Don't cry"
Guess emotions ain't in style, yeah
But I write sad songs in the dark
I'm not lost, I'm on my way
On a road I chose today
