Tired Of Dreaming

(Verse 1)

I act like I don’t care, but I’m waiting for your text,

Scrolling through my phone, just hoping you’ll send the next.

I told you you can go, but my heart said, “Please don’t.”

You walked away slow, but I can’t let go.

(Pre-Chorus)

Every night I play it cool,

Say I’m fine, but that’s not true.

I’ve been lying to myself again,

Just to make it through.

(Chorus)

I’m tired of saying I’m okay when I’m not,

Tired of pretending I forgot.

I need comfort, I need someone real,

Somebody who feels the way I feel.

I want it to be you, I want it to be true,

But you couldn’t be the one I’m holding on to.

I’m tired of imagining love in my dreams,

I want it right here, I want it to be seen.

I’m tired…

Tired of dreaming.

(Verse 2)

I’ve been tracing all our memories like lines in sand,

The tide keeps coming, but I don’t understand.

You were almost everything I thought I’d need,

But “almost” don’t hold me when I bleed.

(Pre-Chorus)

Every night it’s the same,

Calling out your name in vain.

My heart’s a broken melody,

Still singing your refrain.

(Chorus)

I’m tired of saying I’m okay when I’m not,

Tired of pretending I forgot.

I need comfort, I need someone real,

Somebody who feels the way I feel.

I want it to be you, I want it to be true,

But you couldn’t be the one I’m holding on to.

I’m tired of imagining love in my dreams,

I want it right here, I want it to be seen.

I’m tired…

Tired of dreaming.

(Bridge)

Maybe love’s not meant to be a wish,

Maybe I’m learning what real love is.

But if you ever think of me tonight,

Just know I still want to make it right.

(Final Chorus)

’Cause I’m tired of saying I’m okay when I’m not,

Tired of pretending I forgot.

I need comfort, I need something true,

But I can’t keep chasing the ghost of you.

I’m done imagining love in my sleep,

I want it here, I want it deep.

I’m tired…

Yeah, I’m tired of dreaming.

(Outro)

I act like I don’t care, but I do…

Still waiting for a text from you.
