Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The phone keeps ringing, I just let it ring,
Deadlines, headlines, same old sting.
I used to outrun every fear I had,
Now the chase feels slow, and the silence bad.

[Chorus]
I can’t do this anymore,
The fight, the front, the keeping score.
I kept the fire burning till it burned through me,
Now there’s nothing left but smoke to see.
I can’t do this, can’t fake the core,
I can’t do this anymore.

[Verse 2]
There’s a pile of plans on my kitchen floor,
Half-built dreams, unopened doors.
I told myself I’d rest when it’s done,
But the work never ends — and I’m the one undone.

[Chorus]
I can’t do this anymore,
The grind, the mask, the iron door.
I kept the fire burning till it burned through me,
Now I’m breathing ashes I can’t set free.
I can’t do this, can’t keep this war,
I can’t do this anymore.

[Bridge]
If there’s peace out there, I’ve never known it,
Always chasing storms like I own it.
Now I just want the rain to fall,
Wash me clean, wash it all.

[Final Chorus – whispered, fading]
I can’t do this anymore,
But maybe that’s what truth is for.
Let the fire die, let the silence speak —
I’m finally breaking, but maybe I’m free.
