Silent Conversation by Mangomi Lyrics

Why, why

“Don’t chase your dreams ‘cause you’ll never make it”
Don’t smile at me ‘cause I know you just fake it
You tell me things I don’t wanna hear no more

I can’t run the weight off my shoulders
Losing the race to you ‘cause you’re older
I know I can’t stop now, but I’m sore

I’m just tired
Why fuel the fire
I can’t be inspired
‘Cause I’m just tired

Showed you all my faces, glowed up, lost the braces
Telling me I’m perfect on a daily, but I hate this
Hard to keep it going, silent convo, topics slowing
Thought we were close, but the distance is showing
Call me a hypocrite, but I’m just going through changes
Put down my insecurities, just trying to unlock their cages
Made some mistakes, can’t unwrinkle the pages
Cleaned up the stains, forgot the in-cases
What do you want people to remember you by?
The scars you bear, the stories you write?
Your words cut like a knife, I wish they were mine
Strut my own way with my head held high
Don’t stop your demons, they wake me up at night
Skip the games, I can see right through your disguise

I’m just tired
Why fuel the fire
I can’t be inspired
‘Cause I’m just tired

I never thought that I
Would ever have to lie
And finally realize
That I don’t want to
Live out my second choice
Lose myself into the void
With you, but as your toy
So I just fall through

I’m just tired
Why fuel the fire
I can’t be inspired
‘Cause I’m just tired
