Lyrics
Working 40 hours overtime
Working extensively, exceeding the standard 40-hour workweek
Lie to myself and say it's fine
Deceiving oneself into believing that the situation is acceptable
Cuz i know next week i'll get that raise
Anticipating a raise in the coming week
It's just too bad that i got fired today
Regretting getting fired on the same day
I know all you want from me is all i can give
Feeling pressure to give everything one has
Squeeze out every drop and then move on to the next
Being used to the fullest extent and discarded for the next
Tell me i'll be fine at least i've got experience
Assurance that experience will provide some solace despite difficulties
Wish that was enough because i need to pay my rent
Desperation due to financial obligations (rent)
She said i only ever think about myself
Accusation of selfishness from a partner
Even after i ditched all my friends (Just like you wanted!)
Abandoning friends to fulfill the partner's desires
And i'm sorry but a ring won't make me stay
Refusing commitment despite the offer of a ring
At least i can sell it on ebay
Planning to sell the engagement ring
I know all you want from me is all i can give
Feeling pressured to give everything one has (repeated)
Squeeze out every drop and then move on to the next
Being used completely before moving on to another person (repeated)
Tell me i'll be fine cuz who else could ever love me
Being told that no one else would love despite reassurances
But if this is love and that's just too much carry on
Questioning if this treatment equates to love and considering it too burdensome to continue
I work hard get laid off so why do i even try
Expressing frustration over losing a job despite hard work
I tell her i love her and all she does is make me cry
Partner's actions causing emotional distress
It's too hard i can't breathe it's too much i can't think that's it i quit
Feeling overwhelmed, leading to a decision to quit
So i'll take this jean vest my dog and some cardboard and i'll live outside
Deciding to live a simple life, away from societal norms
I know all i want from you is to understand
Desiring understanding from another person (repeated)
That sometimes life gets rough but that doesn't mean it should end
Encouraging perseverance despite life's challenges
So i'll pack my bags and i'll be on that next flight
Planning to leave everything behind and move forward
But i'll leave you all behind cuz that's just too much carry on
Considering the emotional baggage too heavy to continue with others
And i'll carry on
Determination to continue despite difficulties
