Tired

You’ve been talking for an hour,

And I swear to God I that can’t hear a word you say.

So will you come to me…

Come to me.

I get caught up in the waves of conversation they wash over me.

And they cover me. Well they cover me.

Try to pack my things and leave,

Would I be a bigger man if I,

Build a wall around this heart,

And dare to, to come in

I could lie to you,

Say I didn’t mean it,

But hurts a funny thing,

It makes you stronger.

(Chorus)

And all is nothing, in moderation,

It’s a dirty feeling, well it makes you stronger,

So I believe, I’m just plain tired.

There’s a funny way your lip shakes,

When I know that you’ve been lying,

And it touches me.

I said it comforts me.

well it comforts me.

Well I guess I should be satisfied,

When you say you love me half the time,

Well I’ll settle there.

I can build from there.

Build from there.

Would you be happier if I was only half the man I am,

You could shout at me and dare me to come in,

I could lie to you,

Say I didn’t mean it,

It doesn’t matter,

When you start to think about it

(chorus)

Yeah the end is coming she don’t even feel it,

It’s a strange sensation, I’m almost happy,

Well I believe, I believe,

I’m just plain tired. I’m tired (yeah yeah yeah)

Try to pack my things and leave,

Would I be a bigger man if I,

Build a wall around this heart,

And dare to, to come in.

I could lie to you,

Say I didn’t mean it,

But hurts a funny thing,

Hurt’s a funny thing,

(Chorus)

Yeah the end is coming she don’t even feel it,

It’s a strange sensation, I’m almost happy,

Well I believe, I believe,

I’m just plain tired. Tired

And all’s nothing, in moderation,

Dirty feeling,

Strange sensation,

Well I believe, I believe,

I believe I’m tired

You and I and I

Yeah it's for sure
But things came down hard
But you couldn't wait and (see)
Well all I ever think about is myself
well anyone else, well they get strung out
but I get high, high, high

Chorus1:
But it's something, you better be straight
I ain't got no room in my (heart/life)
it's up the anchor and set it (free/straight), yeah

Chorus2:
STOP, well I, I don't wanna thank you
Honey I don't think so, you'd better stop
well try, and if there's a distance here between us
It's you and I, and I and I and I

Yeah well it's ashame, you pander to me
C'mon stroke on my ego
well like I've never been dumped before (yeah/here) by anyone else
and what doesn't kill you, it makes you linger
it makes you wonder, YEAH
for goodness sake have you ever been asleep
thinking one thing I'd be here,
and what doesn't kill you, doesn't stay, YEAH yeah

(CHORUS2)
(CHORUS1)
(CHORUS2)
(CHORUS2)

Heavy


It’s bad enough that we had to learn
The hard way about giving it up
When I thought that you were jokin’
And I’m broken

You’ve known for a little while
You pass it on and try something else
And hell, you knew that you’re the one

You turned on me
‘cause that’s the way you heard it was supposed to be
And right away you start thinkin’ about
The wrong things will start giving up
Well hell, you know that we’re all quitters
Big sinners

So, tell me ‘cause I don’t understand
Just how to be more to the right
Ya know, ya know that means so much

You turned on me
Yeah ‘cause I’m so sick and thick
Dou you remember where you were when things were heavy?
So go

You could sell me about anything
And I’ll buy because I like your face
And hell you know that I’m a sucker
Little fucker

But tell me it’s only me
And I’ll tell you it’s only you
‘cause only you can make me weep

You turned on me
Yeah, ‘cause I’m so sick and thick
Dou you remember where you were when things were heavy?
When things were heavy

I'm so sick and thin
Thin thin thin

It’s bad enough that we had to learn
The hard way about giving it up
When I thought that you jokin’

Rest Stop


We're just 3 miles, from the rest stop
And she slams on the breaks
She said I tried to be but I’m not
And could you please collect your things

Well I don’t wanna be cold
I don’t wanna be cruel
But I’ve gotta find more than what’s happened with you
So if you’d open up my door

(chorus)
She said while you were sleepin’
I was listenin’ to the radio and wonderin’ what you were dreamin’ when
It came to mind that I didn’t care
So I thought hell if it’s over
Then I had better end it quick or I could lose my nerve
Are you listenin’? Can you hear me?
Have you forgotten?

Just 3 miles fromm the rest stop
And my mouth’s too dry to reach it
A light was shining from the radio
And I could barely see her face
But she knew all the words that I never had said
She knew the crumbled up promise of a broken down man
As I opened up my door

(chorus)

But I’ve forgotten, yeah
Have you forgotten?
You just don’t love to love like I love

(chorus)

While you were sleepin’
I was listenin’ to the radio and wonderin’ what you were dreamin’ when
It came to mind that I didn’t care
Hell if it’s over
I had better end it quick or I could lose all my nerve
Are you listenin’? Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

I typed out the words from tired, and got the words for the other songs from another site. I can't
