[Verse 1]

Alarm goes off

Throat on fire

Check my to‑do list

Only see high wire

Laptop open

Eyes still sting

Got a deadline breathing

Down my neck again

[Pre-Chorus]

Who’s got space for tissues

When the inbox screams my name?

Every cough’s a calendar

Sliding down the drain

[Chorus]

I ain’t got time to be sick (no way)

Got a mountain made of sticky notes and panic to pick

Head’s all fog

But the clock won’t quit

This is why it blows being sick

I ain’t got time to be sick (uh‑huh)

Can’t pause life for a lousy little fever and chills

World keeps pulling

While my body hits a brick

This is why it blows being sick

[Verse 2]

Soup in a mug

Spilled on the sheets

Trying to look alive

On a glitchy video feed

Mute my mic

For a coughing fit

Boss says

“Quick question”

I’m like

“Make it quick”

[Pre-Chorus]

Every plan rescheduled

Like a domino collapse

All my big ambitions

Stuck in sweatpants traps

[Chorus]

I ain’t got time to be sick (hey!)

Got a mountain made of sticky notes and panic to pick

Head’s all fog

But the clock won’t quit

This is why it blows being sick

I ain’t got time to be sick (so sick)

Can’t pause life for a lousy little fever and chills

World keeps pulling

While my body hits a brick

This is why it blows being sick

[Bridge]

If I call in “fine”

Will you let it slide?

If I slow down now

Will I fall behind?

Half a tank

Half awake

Still I push

Still I fake

Every sneeze feels like

Another big mistake (oh)

[Chorus]

I ain’t got time to be sick

Got a mountain made of sticky notes and panic to pick

Head’s all fog

But the clock won’t quit

This is why it blows being sick

I ain’t got time to be sick (so done)

But my body hit the brakes

While my brain wants to run

Whole week circling

Down the tick‑tick‑tick

This is why it blows being sick
