I'm Tired
Marc Anthony Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Of all the times you've walked away
There's never been a day
When you've cried so long
Yet seem so strong
I know this ain't your way
I can't imagine what he's done
To make you feel this way
Girl you lose inside
You stay out all night
I guess this is your way
Of saying

I'm tired of tryin'
And I'm tired of lyin'
I know I've been smilin'
But inside I'm dyin'
I'm tired of fakin' that my heart's not achin'
I can't stay, no way



I always knew this day would come
So I guess now's the time to say
Girl just run to me
So that you can see
It should've always been this way
You've lived some sad and lonely days
But now they're in the past
Cause you're here with me
Saying this could be
Girl I guess this is your way
Of saying

I'm tired of tryin'
And I'm tired of lyin'
I know I've been smilin'
But inside I'm dyin'




I'm tired of fakin' that my heart's not achin'
I can't stay, no way

Overall Meaning

In "I'm Tired" by Marc Anthony, the singer addresses a woman who he loves and cares for, who has been hurt in the past and is currently going through a rough patch with another man. He acknowledges that she is strong, but is concerned for her because he knows that her behavior is out of character. He believes that the man she is with has caused her pain and that she is trying to cope by staying out all night and being distant. The singer is tired of pretending that everything is okay and that he doesn't care for her, when in reality, he loves her deeply. He urges her to come to him so that they can finally be together, and he can help her through her struggles. The chorus of the song summarizes his feelings, as he is tired of the situation as it is and is ready for a change.


One interpretation of the song is that it is about someone who has been in love with a woman for a long time but has been waiting for the right moment to express their feelings, which happens to coincide with a time where the woman is going through a difficult time in another relationship. The song captures the hope and frustration that comes with waiting for the time to be right in a relationship. The singer knows that he is the one who can make her happy, but also realizes that she needs to be ready to leave her current situation before she can accept his love.
