I Wanted to Explain, but My Soul is Tired

I’ve got words tangled up in my chest,
Tried to say it all, but I need some rest.
It’s been a long road, and I’m losing the fight,
Carrying the weight of what’s wrong and right.
You ask me to speak, but my voice is weak,
Been fighting these battles all week after week.
I wanted to tell you everything inside,
But my soul is tired, and I’ve got nothing to hide.

I wanted to explain, but my soul is tired,
All these flames that I’ve walked through, they’ve burned out the fire.
I’ve been holding on, trying to be strong,
But the words just won’t come, and it’s been too long.
I wanted to explain, but I’ve run out of air,
It’s hard to find the truth when you’re barely there.
So I’ll sit in the silence, let the night take me higher,
I wanted to explain, but my soul is tired.

I’ve tried to paint the picture with all the pain,
But every stroke I make just feels the same.
I’ve been drowning in echoes of what I should say,
But the light’s fading fast at the end of the day.
You look for answers in my broken gaze,
But these battles have blurred my weary ways.
I wish I had the strength to make you see,
But my soul is tired, just let me be.

I wanted to explain, but my soul is tired,
All these flames that I’ve walked through, they’ve burned out the fire.
I’ve been holding on, trying to be strong,
But the words just won’t come, and it’s been too long.
I wanted to explain, but I’ve run out of air,
It’s hard to find the truth when you’re barely there.
So I’ll sit in the silence, let the night take me higher,
I wanted to explain, but my soul is tired.

If I could find the words, if I could make them stay,
I’d tell you everything that’s slipping away.
But the weight is too heavy, my heart’s on the line,
I’ve fought all I can, now I need some time.
I’m searching for peace in the quiet and dark,
The flames are dying, but I’ve left my mark.

I wanted to explain, but my soul is tired,
All these flames that I’ve walked through, they’ve burned out the fire.
I’ve been holding on, trying to be strong,
But the words just won’t come, and it’s been too long.
I wanted to explain, but I’ve run out of air,
It’s hard to find the truth when you’re barely there.
So I’ll sit in the silence, let the night take me higher,
I wanted to explain, but my soul is tired.

I’ll find my voice again, but not tonight,
Let the stars take over and dim the light.
I wanted to explain, but for now, I’ll retire,
‘Cause my soul is so, so tired.
