“The song is really important. It’s about chronic illness; and it’s for me, for you guys, for anyone that may be dealing with chronic illness or supporting a family member that is kind of waking up fighting every day. It’s not easy.” – Joshua Landry
[Intro]
Hey man, just wanted to call and ask how you're doing
You look like you've lost a lot of weight
You look great; just checking in and wondering if you're alright
I can never [?] disappear
[Verse 1]
Sometimes, I question if I’ve got the guts to keep waking up
So I hide, so no one sees me on the ledge when I’m about to jump
It’s embarrassing, preaching how to save when I’m perishing (perishing, perishing, perishing)
[Verse 2]
Oh, how, I dream of better days and nights when I’m not so sick
But somehow, I guess I’m not meant to heal, I’m not meant to livе
Cause my life’s like thеrapy
I gotta pay someone to be there for me
Cause if I don’t, I’m alone
[Chorus 1]
I can’t do this anymore, no
I can’t do this anymore
I fight these words like I’m at war
Can someone find a cure?
Cause I can’t do this anymore
I can’t, I can’t
No I can’t do this
[Verse 3]
Wait.. yes I can
Gotta “be a man”
Gotta hide the hurt, cause what’s worse? Losing me or them?
No matter what I do, I lose regardless
I feel so heartless
That’s why I’m always wrestling with who I am
And everybody’s watching me
Don’t wanna let em down. But I..
[Chorus 2]
I can’t do this anymore
No, I can’t do this anymore, no
And I’m not the one you’re looking for
Got one hand on the door
I can’t do this anymore
I can’t, I can’t, no I can’t do this
[Bridge]
I don’t even know what I’m fighting for..
Healing for myself? Or my childhood scars?
Living for a dream’s how a nightmare starts
Cause this ain’t life, it’s just surviving
I don’t even know what I’m fighting for..
Healing for myself? Or my childhood scars?
Living for a dream’s how a nightmare starts
[Outro]
I can’t do this anymore
I can’t do this anymore
I’m fucking sick, I’m fucking sore
Don’t care if I’m adored
I can’t do this anymore
