Why am I so tired? I hide it well, but it hurts more each day If I told, would that even help? No, gotta seem strong and intact After all, it’ll change tomorrow Something new will come There will be a breakthrough Life won’t be as hard tomorrow No, no, you’ve lost the romance life once had The smile on your face under the light-veiled trees There was a hope to your step, governing your heart But now it’s gone, so it seems Where did it go? Am I making it all up in my head? Seems a lot of nonsense for a man of my age Hormones are wacky and figuring it out That’s it, you’re just a cliche What part of your life has ever been hard? Depressed? Yeah, right Typical generational propaganda I don’t really care enough to care I’m just saying I’m tired, maybe a little depressed Though that word holds a power I’d rather ignore So I’m just tired, alright? Just a tired, young man on his way to the grave

Just a Tired, Young Man
