Lyrics

You're not trying

You are not putting in effort or attempting.

No you never were

This lack of effort has been a consistent trait.

And I'm tired

I am exhausted or weary.

Of picking up all the work

I am tired of handling all the responsibilities.

When you struggle

When you face difficulties or challenges.

You have my sympathy

I empathize with your struggles.

When I'm crying

During my moments of crying or vulnerability.

You are nowhere to be seen

You are absent or not supportive.

(it's your choice to, it's mine not to)

(It's your decision to be this way, it's my choice not to follow suit.)

(you don't seem to understand)

(You seem not to comprehend my perspective.)


You never worry

You never experience anxiety or concern.

Cos you never had to

This lack of worry is because you've never had to face challenges.

Give me what I give

Give me the same level of effort or consideration that I provide.

Labour like I do

Put in the same hard work as I do.


So heavy, to carry on my back

The burden is substantial and weighs heavily on me.

And I'm tired

I am exhausted, but you seem indifferent or unconcerned.

But you seem ok with that

You are okay with me bearing the load.

We'll go swimming

We will engage in an activity together.

I'll breathe for both of us

I will handle the effort for both of us.

And you'll let me

You allow me to take charge because you lack courage.

Because you don't have the guts

This is because you lack the determination or bravery.

(next time I don't think I want to)

(In the future, I may not want to take charge like this again.)

(next time I don't think I can)

(In the future, I may not be able to take charge like this again.)


Next time, it's all on you

In the future, the responsibility will solely be on you.
