I'm sleepy
Ahh, ahh

Three deep breaths
Ten steps backwards
Going backwards
Now I'm switchin' lanes
Tire marks
On my heart
It don't beat the same, no

Rest your weary heart
Dry your teary eyes
I know you are scarred
And torn apart inside, ah
Darlin', so am I, okay

'Cause, baby, I was born tired
Getting more tired
As time passes me by, yeah
I'ma need more fire
Way, way more fire
So pass that thing my way, ay

La-da-da-ahh
Ha-ha-haa
Ha-ha-haa, yeah

It's been a long night
Long life, long time fighting
Let out a long sigh
Alright, why am I trying?
'Cause look at how far you have come
And look at all that you have going
Look at who have become
Baby, you gotta keep going

Ooh-oh, rest your weary heart
Dry your teary eyes
I know you are scarred
And torn apart inside
Inside, inside, inside
Darlin', so am I, so am I

Baby, I was born tired
Getting more tired
As time passes me by
I'ma need more fire
Way, way more fire
So pass that thing my way

Ay, I'm tired, but I'm fired up
Tired, but I'm fired up
Tired, but I'm fired up
Tired, but I'm fired up

La-da-da-ah (da-da-da)
Ha-ha-ha (ha-ha-haa)
Ha-ha-ha (ha-ha-ha-ha, ahh)
