Burnt Out

 Burnt Out

I’ve given so much to this

I’m starting to think my energy’s misplaced

Is this a waste?  I’m burnt out

All of this time and I miss 

Things I’ve never know of so what if I’ve replaced 

Is this a waste?  I’m burnt out 

I came to you lost and weary 

Ruined by another mistake

Of holding on too long

When the spark became a flame 

It burnt me. 

You gave me comfort and peace

With promises of better things

But you twisted though time

Now you’re not what I signed up for

I’ve given so much to this

I’m starting to think my energy’s misplaced

Is this a waste?  I’m burnt out

All of this time and I miss 

Things I’ve never know of so what if I’ve replaced 

Is this a waste?  I’m burnt out 

I wake up tired of the day

Before it starts I want the end 

And never come again 

What once was endless chances 

Expired me. 

Expectations were promised 

And altered after acceptance 

Now I’m sitting here with

My ask my expectations were skewed

I’ve given so much to this

I’m starting to think my energy’s misplaced

Is this a waste?  I’m burnt out

All of this time and I miss 

Things I’ve never know of so what if I’ve replaced 

Is this a waste?  I’m burnt out 

Sell a man a boat but deliver a raft because “things change”

Don’t be mad when he gives delivery with the same energy 

Over promised and Under delivered 

I try but I’m so burnt I’m ash to your changing wind

I’ve given so much to this

I’m starting to think my energy’s misplaced

Is this a waste?  I’m burnt out

All of this time and I miss 

Things I’ve never know of so what if I’ve replaced 

Is this a waste?  I’m burnt out
