lyrics

I can feel a burnout coming
It’s already begun
And I’m about to hear the same old words from everyone
It’s always a full turnout
And now I’m getting sucked in
Then I found out why I’ve been spread so thin
I can’t be everything

Been sleeping around
On friends’ bedroom floors
Down and out
Full of empty promises

Been round the houses
Back to my old ways
Checked out
Better write off today
Laissez-faire
You’ve been bought and paid
Really thought you wanted this

I can feel a burnout coming
It’s already begun
And I’m about to hear the same old words from everyone
It’s always a full turnout
And now I’m getting sucked in
But I’ve found out on my day of reckoning
I can’t be everything

Always second guessed by someone
Ready to say ‘I told you so’
‘And here’s what I would’ve done’
As they look down their nose

Living in days by numbers
Tagging along with ‘so-and-so’
Swear I’m sorting it all out
Have-a-go heroes

They’re back
Beating up the straw man
Strong-armed
Remember when you made plans
Always letting someone else down
And stirring up trouble
I’m a deadbeat wunderkind

I can feel a burnout coming
It’s already begun
And I’m about to hear the same old words from everyone
It’s always a full turnout
And I’m getting sucked in
Then I found out why I’ve been spread so thin
I can’t be everything

Should’ve found my calling by now
What if it never comes?
When I crash out I know I’m gonna
Hear the same words from everyone
Hit the ground, better start running
Till I can’t hear a thing
And this time I’m going all in
I’ve found that I can’t be everything

Help yourself
I'm on your side
Don't you know how hard I've tried?

Sell yourself
This is your life
Your living a lie

Should've gone for it while I had the chance?
Should spend more time with Mum and Dad
Have I had the best days that I'll ever have?

Don't you know you're putting us all through hell?
They've come to bring you out of your shell
Are you a danger to yourself?

What are you scared of today?
You're alive
Don’t know why you’re still waiting
For a sign
This was your life
