Lyrics
When I'm tired
Feeling fatigued
I get so hard on myself
Being overly critical of oneself when tired
When I'm tired
Reiterating the feeling of fatigue
I see you with somebody else
Imagining the person one loves with someone else when tired
When I'm tired
Continuing to emphasize tiredness
I lie in my bed
Resting in bed
And want to hold you like I should
Desiring physical closeness with the loved one
Ooooh
Expressing emotion or yearning
This kind of thinking
Realization that certain thoughts aren't beneficial
Don't do me no good
Understanding that negative thinking is unhelpful
When I'm awake
Feeling positive and upbeat when awake
The daybreak puts me in a good mood
Morning brings a positive mood
When I'm awake
Being able to create an illusion that the loved one is close
I can fake that your in the next room
Fabricating a sense of closeness despite physical distance
When I'm awake
Experiencing a temporary relief from pain or distress when awake
The pain goes away
The respite from pain is brief
If only for a moment or two
Even though temporary, the relief helps forget momentarily
Oooooh
Expressing emotions or feelings
I can almost forget about you
Almost being able to forget about the loved one
There's no use pretending
Recognizing the futility of pretending
Our love's at an ending
Understanding that the relationship is ending
It disintegrates with the morning dew
Comparing the end of the relationship to the evaporation of dew
And now that it's over
Seeking closure after the relationship's end
I'm searching for closure
Continuously being drawn back to thoughts of the loved one while seeking closure
But searching leads me back to you
Feeling sadness and longing when depressed
When I'm depressed
Confessing to missing the loved one during depression
I confess that I start to miss you
Suppressing memories of negative aspects of the relationship during depression
When I'm depressed
Repressing thoughts of the negative aspects of the past relationship
I repress all the cold things you'd do
Allowing thoughts of the loved one's current existence elsewhere
When I'm depressed
Acknowledging the shared atmosphere with the loved one despite separation
I let in the air
Expressing the unfairness of living without the loved one
That you're currently breathing somewhere
Feeling the injustice of being apart from the loved one
Oooh living without you doesn't seem fair
Suffering seems unjust when living without the loved one
