I’m Tired Lyrics

[Chorus: Labrinth]
Hey Lord, You know I'm tired
Hey Lord, You know I'm tired
Hey Lord, You know I'm tired of tears
Hey Lord, just cut me loose

[Verse 1: Labrinth]
Hey Lord, You know I'm fighting
Hey Lord, You know I'm fighting
I'm sure this world is done with me
Hey Lord, You know it's true

[Verse 2: Labrinth, with Zendaya]
Now the tide is rollin' in
I don't wanna win
Let it take me, let it take me
I'll be on my way
How long can I stay?
In a place that can't contain me


[Chorus: Labrinth, with Zendaya]
Hey Lord, You know I'm tired
Hey Lord, You know I'm tired


[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Genius Annotation

I’m Tired first released solely with Labrinth vocals on Friday 4th February along with Yeh I Fuckin' Did It.

The song was later removed from all streaming services.

This is the first time it has reappeared with a new feature from Zendaya, her first official release since the previous single for Euphoria season 1, All for Us.

“I’m Tired” marks the second collaboration between Emmy Award winner and singer Zendaya and Grammy Award winner Labrinth for HBO’s Euphoria. The track is featured in the show’s second season finale, “All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned for a Thing I Cannot Name”. Labrinth is Euphoria’s soundtrack composer, as many of his songs, such as Mount Everest and Still Don’t Know My Name, are featured on the show.

The two have previously collaborated on “All For Us” featured on Euphoria’s first season.

“I’m Tired” is a song about someone who has had enough of the world they live in but still fights and tries to stay alive, to be better and come out of the darkness.

In the context of the show, the song is about a drug addict, Rue (who is played by Zendaya), who, at the end of the season, is going through withdrawal and finds herself in a state of hope and comfort, despite all of the hell she was put through throughout her life. She doesn’t know for how long she will manage to stay sober and healthy, but she is trying.
