In "Tired," Amira Elfeky moves through the raw edge of burnout, where crying until sick and screaming until breathless give way to a terrifying isolation. The heart is vulnerable and the head on fire, yet hope itself feels like a liar, promising relief that never comes. Running from who they have become, they claw toward sunlight and the self they used to know, desperate to be heard in the loneliness. The exhaustion is total, but a fragile promise remains: to try again without letting themselves down.
Tired Lyrics by Amira Elfeky
Don’t wanna cry till I’m throwing up
Scream till I lose my breath
One minute from passing out
Now all I see is red
And I’m too scared to turn around
And what if it’s too dark?
So who’s gonna pull me out?
It’s just me and my
Heart is vulnerable
My head’s on fire
I’m hanging on to hope
But she’s a liar
I’m so tired
I know that I tried
I let myself down
I burnt myself out
I’m so tired
Running away from the person I’ve become
To get back to who I was
And feel the sunlight on my face again
I’ll claw my way out until my hands are numb
‘Cause right now I really need someone
Who hears me when I feel alone
My heart is vulnerable
My head’s on fire
I’m hanging onto hope
But she’s a liar
I’m so tired
I know that I tried
I let myself down
I burnt myself out
I’m so tired
Sell my secrets
They all want more
Am I the reason I can’t love no more?
I’m so tired
I promise I’ll try
I won’t let myself down
I won’t burn myself out
I’m so tired
