new song- yay

This is a song I wrote yesterday. It's called Tired Eyes

There's too many people.
They're getting so loud.
I try to hear my heat beat,
But it's drowning out.
I'm feeling the pressure
To be someone I'm not
I gotta make it on my own terms

So take these tired eyes
Take my worn out heart
Take this broken back
I don't need them anymore

I try to pay attention
But it gets so hard
There's too many sounds here
And I'm fading out
Will someone believe me?
Will someone hear what I say?
Will you just be me?
Oh, just today?

And take these tired eyes
Take my worn out heart
Take this broken back
I won't need them anymore

I don't believe you
How do I know I can trust?
When I've been so broken
Is there even an us?
I feel afraid
I'm not sure what of
I guess it's everything It's so overwhelming

So take these tired eyes
Take my worn out heart
Take this broken back
I can't do this myself
Please take these tired eyes
Take my worn out heart
Take this broken back
I don't need them anymore.
