I tell them that i am tired,
They tell me to sleep.

I tell them that I can't,
They tell me to shut my eyes and try

They tell me you're faking it,
I break down and cry.

I say that I'm tired,
They say "same",

It's not the same type of tired,
I'm so tired I can't get out of bed,
I'm so tired I can't think straight,
I'm so tired yet I can't sleep,
I'm so tired that my body want to shut down.

At 15 they say you should be spending the day with friends,
They say that you are too young to be this tired,
They tell you that it's all in your head,
They tell you to get over it.

I'm so tired,
Tired of not sleeping,
Tired of nausea,
Tired of pain,
Tired of panic,
Tired of a broken soul,
Tired of faking,
Tired of not being normal,
Tired of no one listening,
Just tired.

I try my best but don't succeed,
I close my eyes,
I try to sleep,
I try to keep fighting,
I try to get help,
I try to making people listening,
I try to be normal,
I try to mend my soul,
I try to ease the pain,
I try to not panic.
