I'm not depressed, I'm just tired.
Tired of the lonliness and the third wheeling
Tired of watching everyone else happy with someone else
Meanwhile I'm alone, watching from afar
I'm upset by watching strange faces
Together in their spaces
Everyone in good graces
While I'm sitting there checking my shoelaces and Facebook pages
I'm tired of the life I lead
It makes me sad but I'm not depressed
I'm just tired
Tired of my shattered heart trying to place it's pieces in other people
Only to get broken even worse
Tired of being forced into this life of pity and sadness
But I'm not depressed
I might be sad and lonely
And broken and shattered
And ripped and tattered....
Maybe I am depressed
At least it's a word for my forever state of mind

I'm not depressed, I'm just tired.
Tired of the lonliness and the third wheeling
Tired of watching everyone else happy with someone else
Meanwhile I'm alone, watching from afar
I'm upset by watching strange faces
Together in their spaces
Everyone in good graces
While I'm sitting there checking my shoelaces and Facebook pages
I'm tired of the life I lead
It makes me sad but I'm not depressed
I'm just tired
Tired of my shattered heart trying to place it's pieces in other people
Only to get broken even worse
Tired of being forced into this life of pity and sadness
But I'm not depressed
I might be sad and lonely
And broken and shattered
And ripped and tattered....
Maybe I am depressed
At least it's a word for my forever state of mind
