Whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh I keep pushing myself, even though I can't take it at all Whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh Why do I put myself in these situations?

Whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh I keep pushing myself, even though I can't take it at all Whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh Why do I put myself in these situations? Whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh I keep pushing myself, even though I can't take it at all
