Sense of purpose, you've gotta earn it
But not before you pay the rent
Stuck in your mind that you're running out of time
Forget how it gets spent
You grow so tired, you grow so tired
Until you don't grow at all
But you're required for those things they desire
They'll cheer you on as they watch you fall
(Chorus):
So take care Mr. Caretaker you know the whole world needs you now
And self love is just way too tough oh you better find that love somehow
Collect those IOU's the one's you never use, cause you refuse to ask for help
Give the best advice, you could save a life, but you could never save yourself
Spread so thin, lungs pulled in
Don't bother holding your breath
Pulled in all directions, counting every blessing
Until there aren't any left
What's the harm you know you made it this far
You're bound to catch a break real soon
Body gets weak on a losing streak
But hey man what else is new
Chorus
