Killing Me
Written by: Chris Williams

So, this is what it takes
To support the life I lead
This trying to make
A living is killing me
I don't know how to handle
All this work, and friends
I think that my candle
Is burning at both ends

This feeling isn't fake
I'm tired as I can be
This trying to make
A living is killing me
It's catching up so fast
It's not all that funny
I'm out there busting my ass
And it's only for money

With everything it takes
I can barely stand or breath
This trying to make
A living is killing me
It seems harder each day
But I push on through
What's it all for anyway
Why is it that I do what I do
