"Tired Eyes" lyrics

"Tired Eyes"

I feel worn like a pair of your father's old jeans
That he wore in overtime to provide for all of your needs
But it's not my job to try make you content
The love I sell to you is never gonna pay the rent

So tell me what you're fighting for
Oh, I'm sick of singing love songs with tired eyes
Stop reading off your list of needs
Oh, I'm sick of singing love songs with you in mind
Cause I'm giving too much
You're not getting enough

I feel confused like a soldier drafted to war
Yeah, I'm shooting the guns, but I don't know what I'm shooting them for
You turn it all on me leaving my face in the ground
Ooh, don't tell me you love me if you don't want me around

So tell me what you're fighting for
Oh, I'm sick of singing love songs with tired eyes
Stop reading off your list of needs
Oh, I'm sick of singing love songs with you in mind
Cause I'm giving too much
You're not getting enough

Stop looking for me
I'm not what you need
Stop looking for me
I'm not what you need

Oh
Ooh

Cause I'm giving too much
You're not getting enough
You're not giving too much, baby
Yeah, I've had enough
