[Intro]
Tell me can you feel a breakdown?
Does the pressure ever phase out?
I don't ever wanna find out
What happens if we never slow down (Oh)
[Verse 1]
Is this just a phase?
Phase from the tension?
And there's no name to a face
To face consequences (Oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Pray for better times
'Cause something doesn't feel right
Am I losing my mind?
Every day and all night
Promise that I'm fine
But something doesn't feel right
Am I losing my mind?
'Cause lately I've been feeling likе
[Chorus]
I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't care what I had said bеfore
I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't care what I had said before
I don't wanna do this anymore
[Verse 2]
Is this just a race?
A race from ascension?
I shoulda known that it's just waste
To wait on redemption (Oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Pray for better times
'Cause something doesn't feel right
Am I losing my mind?
Every day and all night
Promise that I'm fine
But something doesn't feel right
Am I losing my mind?
'Cause lately I've been feeling like
[Chorus]
I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't care what I had said before
I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't care what I had said before
I don't wanna do this anymore
[Post-Chorus]
I-I-I
I don't wanna do this anymore
I-I-I
I don't wanna do this anymore
I-I-I
I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna do this anymore
[Bridge]
Tell me can you feel a breakdown?
Does the pressure ever phase out?
I don't ever wanna find out
What happens if we never slow down
Tell me can you feel a breakdown?
Does the pressure ever phase out?
I don't ever wanna find out
What happens if we never slow down (Woo)
[Chorus]
I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't care what I had said before
I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't care what I had said before
I don't wanna do this anymore
[Post-Chorus]
(I-I-I)
I don't wanna do this anymore
(I don't wanna do this anymore)
I don't wanna do this anymore
(I-I-I)
I don't care what I had said before
(I don't wanna do this anymore)
I don't wanna do this anymore
(I-I-I)
I don't wanna do this anymore
(I don't wanna do this anymore)
I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't care what I had said before
(I don't wanna do this anymore)
I don't wanna do this anymore

Social media content, attention economy, instant gratification, capitalism, the hamster wheel that we’ve created, burnout, fear for the planet and us as people if we don’t course correct our behavior and priorities.
—Lynn Gunn via Instagram Live
“I Don’t Wanna Do This Anymore” is about observing the structures and systems we exist in and fearing the future if we continue on these paths and never slow down. Not wanting to participate in the machine but feeling so stuck in it and not wanting to get left behind.
