Please let me sleep.
I’ve had a rough day.
You don’t understand.
I’m tired,
So tired.

Talking gives me headaches.
I want to get away.
Just give me some time.
I’m tired,
So tired.

The days just drag on.
It never seems to end.
I want it to stop.
I’m tired,
So tired.

Exhaustion just creeps in
Until all I want to do is sleep,
But there’s work to be done.
I’m tired,
So tired.


Does this ever go away?
Must I always feel like this?
Life is getting harder.
I’m tired,
So tired.

I used to be energetic.
Life was so much fun.
Now all I feel is a void.
I’m tired,
So tired.

Life insists on going on,
But I’m slowing down.
I think I want it to end.
I’m tired,
So tired.

Maybe I’ll take the rest,
The one we all must take
When our time here is done.
I’m tired,
So tired.

Then maybe I’ll find peace
When I’m resting beneath
Six feet of earth.
I’m tired,
So tired.
