So Tired
Ozzy Osbourne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know it's gonna make you cry
But you belong to another my love
And half a love that just isn't enough
I am so tired
And I just can't wait around for you
I am so tried
I've waited all this time for you
Believed your promises were true
I keep believing that you mean what you say
You'll leave tomorrow - now tomorrow's today
And I often sit and wonder why
You're not with me tonight
I stayed at home remaining true
While you were out with you know who
I am so tired
And I just can't wait around for you
I am so tried
And I always thought we would see it through
The lyrics to Ozzy Osbourne's song So Tired convey a sense of disappointment and exhaustion in a romantic relationship that is coming to an end. The singer acknowledges that it's time to say goodbye, even though it will inevitably result in sadness and tears. The reason for the breakup is explained as the fact that the singer's love interest belongs to someone else and their relationship was only offering them half the love they both needed.
The singer expresses feelings of tiredness and impatience for waiting around for something that was not meant to be. They recall the promises that were made and the hope they held on to, but as time passed, their patience wore thin. The singer is tired of wondering why their love isn't with them tonight, and instead of feeling sorry for themselves, they stayed true to themselves while their partner spent time with someone else. It is evident from the lyrics that this relationship has come to a point of no return, and the singer is simply too tired to hold on to false hope.
The song's melancholic tone is accentuated by the slow, subdued melody and Ozzy's emotive vocals. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has been in a situation where they are waiting for something that is not meant to be. The song's title, "So Tired," is an accurate representation of the emotional state of the singer, and the lyrics serve as a reminder that sometimes saying goodbye is the best thing to do.
