Sick And Tired Lyrics

I break every day
stressed out in every kind of way
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired
all I need and crave
is a loud life with the power to fade
I am living because I keep it all inside

love won't work for me
I want women who are out of my reach
all I need for sure
is a big love with the power to make more
I am living because I keep it all inside

I know I'm close to the fall
I know I'm dangerous
I'm afraid I'm going down

I blame my family,
their damage is living in me
I am sick inside and tired of my life
all I need I swear
is to go out with the power of a nightmare
I am living because I keep it all inside

I know I'm close to the fall
I know I'm dangerous
I know I'm not going down alone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Taking Back Sunday's "You Know How I Do" Is only like this song in one way. Anyone could write so sick of being tired. Just because they have a similar line doesn't mean they ripped it off. So just get over it.
