I've been thinking 'bout quitting
I don't think I'm gonna do it
But I've been thinking 'bout quitting
17-year-old me probably wouldn't believe
That I've been thinking 'bout quitting
After all of the hours that I spent getting good
I've been thinking 'bout quitting
I've been thinking 'bout quitting
I used to love this, now I love this less
And I've been scared to get this off my chest
Afraid of who I might let down if I decide to put to rest
The life I'm living
But I've been thinking 'bout quitting
It comes in waves, but the waves come stronger and more often
I've been reading about how burning out is not uncommon
But I never thought it'd happen to me
So young and full of so much promise
But if I'm honest
I used to love this, now I love this less
And I've had trouble filling up my chest
With the air I need to live because I'm anxious, and I'm stressed
Beyond my limits
So, I've been thinking 'bout quitting
And I tell myself I'm a loser
Who can't take when things get hard
I'm my own worst abuser
But I guess most people are
And I've already come this far
It'd be a waste to not just finish
But I've been thinking 'bout quitting
I don't think I'm gonna do it
But I used to love this, now I love this less
I don't know what I would do instead
So, I'll probably just convince myself that sticking with its best
And try forgetting
That I've been thinking 'bout quitting
