Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Better if I could find the words to say

[Instrumental]

Whenever I take a choice, it turns away

[Chorus]

I'm worn, tired of my mind

I'm worn out, thinking of why

I'm always so unsure

[Instrumental]

I battle my thoughts, I find I can't explain

[Instrumental]

I've travelled so far but somehow feel the same

[Instrumental]

I'm worn, tired of my mind

I'm worn out, thinking of why

I'm always so unsure

I'm always so unsure

[Instrumental]

I'm worn, tired of my mind

I'm worn out, thinking of why

I'm always so unsure

I'm always so unsure (I'm always so unsure)

I'm always so unsure (I'm always so unsure)

I'm always so unsure

[Bridge]

With why, where will I sleep?

While I know in all that I go?

I can't find no one to blame

Stand there, tired and worn

Tired and worn, tired and worn

Tired and worn, tired and worn

Tired, worn, where do I go?
