Tired
Alan Walker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see those tears in your eyes
I feel so helpless inside
Oh love, there's no need to hide
Just let me love you when your heart is tired

Cold hands, red eyes
Packed your bags at midnight
They've been there for weeks
You don't know what goodbye means

Just roll up a cigarette
Just forget about this mess
Waiting on the sidelines
From the sidelines

I see those tears in your eyes
And I feel so helpless inside
Oh love, there's no need to hide
Just let me love you when your heart is tired

If your ghost pulls you up high
And it feels like you've lost who you are
My love, there's no need to hide
Just let me love you when your heart is tired

Just let me love you
Just let me love you
Just let me love you
Just let me love you when your heart is tired

And you whisper, I'm alright
But I see through your white lies
But these walls don't talk
And if they could, they'd say

Can't hide the secrets
You can't forget about this mess
I'm waiting on the sidelines
From the sidelines

I see those tears in your eyes
And I feel so helpless inside
Oh love, there's no need to hide
Just let me love you when your heart is tired

If your ghost pulls you up high
And it feels like you've lost who you are
My love, there's no need to hide
Just let me love you when your heart is tired

Just let me love you
Just let me love you
Just let me love you
Just let me love you when your heart is tired

I see those tears in your eyes
So helpless inside




There's no need to hide
Let me love you when your heart is tired

Line by Line Meaning

I see those tears in your eyes
I recognize that you're upset


I feel so helpless inside
I feel like I can't do anything to help you


Oh love, there's no need to hide
Don't feel like you need to conceal your emotions


Just let me love you when your heart is tired
Allow me to care for you when you're feeling worn out


Cold hands, red eyes
Your hands are cold, eyes are red from crying


Packed your bags at midnight
Left suddenly in the middle of the night


They've been there for weeks
The bags have been packed for a while


You don't know what goodbye means
You're uncertain of what it means to say goodbye


Just roll up a cigarette
Take a moment to calm down


Just forget about this mess
Try not to dwell on the problems right now


Waiting on the sidelines
I'm waiting to support you


From the sidelines
I'm patiently waiting for you to turn to me


If your ghost pulls you up high
If your past memories keep haunting you


And it feels like you've lost who you are
You don't feel like yourself anymore


My love, there's no need to hide
You don't need to keep your struggles a secret from me


Just let me love you when your heart is tired
Allow me to comfort you when you're feeling drained


And you whisper, I'm alright
You're saying you're fine but I know you're not


But I see through your white lies
I know you're not telling the truth


But these walls don't talk
The walls can't tell me what's really going on with you


And if they could, they'd say
If these walls could talk, they would reveal your struggles


Can't hide the secrets
You can't keep your struggles a secret forever


Just let me love you
Allow me to care for you


So helpless inside
I feel powerless to help you
