Exhausted

Exit my mind, so I can begin to grow up
My habits bite me hard in the ass again
Got a hangover by the horrible things I’ve done
I want to give up and hurt myself sometimes 

I’m exhausted and it’s too late to forgive myself
I feel it in my heart breaking bit by bit
Throwing a fit and I’m not feeling myself tonight
I don’t deserve to feel good and that’s it

I loved what you said, I say in dread
You gave me wisdom without words, said I in broken pride
I hated regretting everything instead
I misbehave and get triggered…I’m hurting deep inside
Fighting the exhaustion…
Tightening my grip upon my heart
Mighting my flight in the sun
Lightning makes me trip and fall apart

I will show you with actions to give you my affection vibrantly
I don’t give what people say about our triumphant love 
I love you to the floor to the sky and I mean it entirely
I want it to cave in — your enduring blissfulness above

I’m exhausted and it’s too late to forgive myself
I feel it in my heart breaking bit by bit
Throwing a fit and I’m not feeling myself tonight
I don’t deserve to feel good and that’s it

I loved what you said, I say in dread
You gave me wisdom without words, said I in broken pride
I hated regretting everything instead
I misbehave and get triggered…I’m hurting deep inside
Fighting the exhaustion…
Tightening my grip upon my heart
Mighting my flight in the sun
Lightning makes me trip and fall apart

Heartfelt words you say to me makes me melt once more
Getting over the fact that I had to face storms to boldly soar
But, I’m exhausted as hell…getting out of my shell 
In this lonesome cell and I’m no longer all alone for now
Your echoes of encouragement ring an optimistic bell
And your handsome face is what I look forward to anyhow

I’m exhausted and it’s too late to forgive myself
I feel it in my heart breaking bit by bit
Throwing a fit and I’m not feeling myself tonight
I don’t deserve to feel good and that’s it

I loved what you said, I say in dread
You gave me wisdom without words, said I in broken pride
I hated regretting everything instead
I misbehave and get triggered…I’m hurting deep inside
Fighting the exhaustion…
Tightening my grip upon my heart
Mighting my flight in the sun
Lightning makes me trip and fall apart

I loved what you said, all left unsaid
But I’m exhausted and I’m growing so sleepy
You say sweet dreams as I go to bed
Tired of fighting the fight of wanting to be free
But, do you care?
Yes you do…to answer that dumb question
Can you fix my tear?
Can you wipe away my tears as I might away my tension?

Deep and emotional, Earnest. Though sometimes tired and exhausted, one must fight the fight brother.
