lyrics

I've been fighting a war
I've been coming up short
Been dragging myself through the mud and the dirt
When I know half the people I meet
Are going through twice as much as me
But the stress is always catching up
Whatever I do
It's never enough
This weight on my shoulders is feeling rough
So I

I just wanna sleep
Sometimes
It's not that I want to lay down and die
I just need relief
Need to find a place to shut my eyes
Find a way to find some peace
Vacation seems so far from me
When everyday's a new something
Look, I
I just wanna sleep

I've been having a time at night
Of figuring out what my life's really like
It's not always golden peace I find
Exhaustion is constant state of mind
But everyone I know is
Going through something
So maybe I'm just complaining
But I still always feel like

I just wanna sleep
At night
Wanna close my eyes
Without feeling like failure's right by my side
I wanna feel my peace
Oh, I
I just wanna sleep
