Tired
(Danylo-Buric)

Singer-Danylo


Suddenly without a sound
My entire world turned upside down
And all my tears, from all my fears, through all the years
Are circling round

As I sit here, pen in hand
A hollow shell of a broken man
Farther back that before I began
I've tried, I've tried
And now I'm tired

Finally ready to rejoice
And then I heard the painful voice
Calling in the night, it seemed to bright, I didn't fight
Now I have no choice

It's too strong, I cannot hide
The agony I feel inside
I just stared into space and cried
I've hoped, I've hoped
And now I'm tired.

I'm tired of dreaming, I just feel like screaming
But no one would hear me anyway
Eyes toward the floor, I'll dream no more
No more, not after yesterday

Suddenly that glowing star
That finally didn't seem so far
Has gone away, gone astray, where, I can't say
Left me with this scar

All the love I had to share
Has gone away, I don't know where
I don't think I even really care
This is a cross I won't
I can't
I cannot bear

I'm tired of dreaming, I just feel like screaming
But no one would hear me anyway
Eyes toward the floor, I'll dream no more
No more, not after yesterday

Please let me be. Please let me sleep.
Please do not cry. Please do not weep.
This pain is mine, don't let it bother you

I used to dream that you and I
Would have a love that would never die
But now I know dreams never do come true

I'm tired of dreaming, I just feel like screaming
But no one would hear me anyway
Eyes toward the floor, I'll dream no more
No more, not after yesterday

As I sit here, gun in hand
A hollow shell of a broken man
Farther back that before I began
I've tried
I've hoped
I've dreamed

And now I'm ....
