Lyrics

Sometime's I feel that the world isn't mine

Sometimes, I feel disconnected from the world, as if it doesn't belong to me.

It feeds on my hunger and tears on my time

The world takes advantage of my needs and consumes my time.

And I'm tired,

Expressing exhaustion or weariness.

Yes, I'm tired

Reiterating the feeling of being tired.

Every face on the street is as cold the air

Describing how people's expressions are cold and unwelcoming, much like the chilly air.

As hard as the pavement moves 'neath my feet

Comparing the hardness of the pavement to the difficulties faced while moving forward.

And I'm tired,

Repeating the sentiment of exhaustion.

Yes, I'm tired

Reaffirming the feeling of being tired.

Sometimes I stop and ask to myself

Reflecting on why there's a sense of loneliness.

Oh why should I be so alone

Questioning the reason for feeling isolated.

It comes and it goes

Expressing the cyclical nature of emotions, coming and going without being noticed by others.

and nobody knows

Highlighting the unawareness of others towards one's inner struggles.

For they're blind with a pain all their own

People are preoccupied with their own pain, unaware of others' suffering.

So I start out again with a smile on my face

Starting anew with a facade of happiness, concealing inner emptiness while seeking companionship.

To hide all the empty and search for a friend

Attempting to hide one's emptiness and longing for companionship.

And I'm tired

Repeating the feeling of being tired.

Yes, I'm tired

Restating the emotional fatigue experienced.

Sometimes I stop and ask to myself

Revisiting the question of why there's a sense of loneliness.

Oh why should I be so alone

Questioning again the reason for feeling isolated.

It comes and it goes

Highlighting the cyclical nature of emotions that others are unaware of.

and nobody knows

Reiterating the lack of awareness in others towards one's internal struggles.

For they're blind with a pain all their own

Emphasizing people's preoccupation with their own pain, oblivious to others' suffering.

So I start out again with a smile on my face

Restarting the cycle with a facade of happiness, seeking companionship while concealing inner emptiness.

To hide all the empty and search for a friend

Attempting to mask emptiness again and desiring companionship.

And I'm tired

Reiterating the feeling of being tired emotionally.

Yes, I'm tired

Reaffirming the emotional exhaustion.

And I'm tired

Expressing continued weariness.

Yes, I'm tired

Reiterating the ongoing feeling of being tired.
