So Tired
Breaking Free: The Struggle and Liberation in 'So Tired'
Lyrics
I was shiver' inside when I looked in your eyes, oh-oh
I felt a shiver inside when I looked into your eyes.
Took a look all around, told you what's on my mind, oh-oh
I observed my surroundings and shared what was on my mind.
Without a doubt, we're gonna be okay
Expressing confidence that everything will be okay.
How would I ever know that it would be this tough? Oh-oh
Reflecting on the unexpected difficulty of the situation.
Caught my head in the clouds when I was lookin' up, oh-oh
Feeling dreamy or distracted while looking up at the sky.
Without a doubt, we're gonna be okay
Reiterating confidence in a positive outcome.
But I get so tired of carryin' you 'round with me
Expressing weariness of carrying someone emotionally.
And I guess I tried a little too hard maybe
Suggesting an effort was made, possibly in the relationship.
I didn't know that you were pullin' me down by the last thread on my sleeves
Realizing the negative impact of the person on the speaker.
I didn't know I didn't need you around
Acknowledging independence and not needing the person.
But I got so tired, yeah, I got so tired
Repeating the feeling of exhaustion.
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Repeating the expression of fatigue.
Oh-oh-oh-ohh
Continuing the repetition, possibly emphasizing fatigue.
You and I, we're alright
Affirming that the relationship is okay despite challenges.
We're gonna give it all away
Willingness to give everything away for the relationship.
What a mess, nothing less
Describing the current state as a mess.
And I got so tired
Reiterating the feeling of extreme tiredness.
Yeah I got so tired
Repeating the expression of extreme fatigue.
I want it, I'll get it
Expressing determination to achieve personal goals.
I'll make it whether or not you want me to
Asserting the intention to succeed regardless of others.
You'll see me
Confidently stating that the speaker will be seen.
I'll be free
Anticipating freedom from constraints.
And you will learn to not need me, too
Believing the other person will also learn independence.
Get so tired
Reiterating the feeling of extreme tiredness.
Of carryin' you 'round with me
Expressing weariness of carrying someone emotionally (repeated).
And I guess I tried a little too hard maybe
Suggesting an effort was made, possibly in the relationship (repeated).
I didn't realize you were pullin' me down by the last thread on my sleeves
Realizing the negative impact of the person on the speaker (repeated).
I didn't know I didn't need you around
Acknowledging independence and not needing the person (repeated).
But I got so tired, yeah, I got so tired
Repeating the feeling of exhaustion (repeated).
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Repeating the expression of fatigue (repeated).
Oh-oh-oh
Continuing the repetition, possibly emphasizing fatigue.
Oh-oh-oh
