I don’t want to, but I have to

Wake up in the morning, gotta brush my teeth, Drag myself to work, feeling no relief, Emails piling up, meetings that I dread, Another cup of coffee just to clear my head. I don’t want to, I don’t want to, I don’t want to, but I have to, I don’t want to, I don’t want to, I don’t want to, but I have to. Dinner’s in the oven, bills are on the table, Fix the broken light, if I’m ever able, Laundry’s in the basket, dishes in the sink, Every day’s the same, it’s gone before you blink. I don’t want to, I don’t want to, I don’t want to, but I have to, I don’t want to, I don’t want to, I don’t want to, but I have to. Weekends come around, but there's still no rest, Chores and errands waiting, never feeling blessed, Friends all out and laughing, I’m stuck in the grind, Wish I could escape it, leave it all behind. I don’t want to, I don’t want to, I don’t want to, but I have to, I don’t want to, I don’t want to, I don’t want to, but I have to. Dreaming of a day where I can break away, Leave it all behind, just to feel okay, But the world keeps turning, there’s no escape in sight, Gotta keep on moving, through the endless night. I don’t want to, I don’t want to, I don’t want to, but I have to, I don’t want to, I don’t want to, I don’t want to, but I have to. “But I have to… But I have to…,” “But I have to… But I have to…,” “But I have to… But I have to…,” “But I have to… But I have to…,”
