Advising companies on employee wellness and healthy boundaries at work But I haven't taken a day off in months, my health's going berserk Forty-hour weeks I recommend But my own will never end Preaching self-care every day While I'm wasting away [Chorus1] I'm a work-life balance consultant Burned out and resultant Of ignoring my advice Paying the price Expert in setting limits But I can't commit Presentations on avoiding burnout, protecting mental health at all costs But I'm working eighteen-hour days and my well-being's getting lost Teaching boundaries between work and life, importance of saying no While I'm answering emails at 2 AM with nowhere else to go "Disconnect after hours" taught But I'm always overwrought With the work I cannot leave No time to breathe [Chorus1] I'm a work-life balance consultant Burned out and resultant Of ignoring my advice Paying the price Expert in setting limits But I can't commit [Chorus2] "Work to live, don't live to work" That's the mantra that I shirk Every single day I preach What I cannot reach Maybe balance can't be taught By someone who's so overwrought [Bridge] Some hire me to save them But I can't even save myself from The addiction to my grind Peace of mind I'll never find [Chorus1] I'm a work-life balance consultant Burned out and resultant Of ignoring my advice Paying the price Expert in setting limits But I can't commit [Chorus2] "Work to live, don't live to work" That's the mantra that I shirk Every single day I preach What I cannot reach Maybe balance can't be taught By someone who's so overwrought Balance consultant Paying the price So overwrought
