I Did It Tired Songtext
Mmm
I did it tired, I did it broke
I made the bed, I wore the coat
I fed the mouths, I dried the tears
I held my breath for years and years
I smiled small, I stayed polite
Then cried alone most every night
Nobody saw what it required
I did it tired
Don't ask me how I stayed
Some days I just obeyed
The voice inside that said don't quit
So I didn't
I did it tired, I did it scared
I did it broken, no one cared
I did it lonely, I did it hurt
I did it anyway, I made it work
I did it tired, hmm
I paid the bills, I took the blame
I lost myself and kept my name
I bent so far, I almost broke
I swallowed words, I should have spoke
I held the line, I held the door
I gave too much then gave some more
Nobody clapped, nobody cheered
I'm still here
Don't ask me how I stayed
Some days I just obeyed
The voice inside that said don't quit
So I didn't
I did it tired, I did it scared
I did it broken, no one cared
I did it lonely, I did it hurt
I did it anyway, I made it work
I did it tired, hmm
I did it tired, hmm
I don't need a softer past
I just need my strength to last
I did it tired, I did it scared
I did it broken, no one cared
I did it tired, I did it scared
I did it broken, no one cared
I did it lonely, I did it hurt
I did it anyway, I made it work
I did it tired
Mmm
I did it tired, I did it broke
I made the bed, I wore the coat
I fed the mouths, I dried the tears
I held my breath for years and years
I smiled small, I stayed polite
Then cried alone most every night
Nobody saw what it required
I did it tired
Don't ask me how I stayed
Some days I just obeyed
The voice inside that said don't quit
So I didn't
I did it tired, I did it scared
I did it broken, no one cared
I did it lonely, I did it hurt
I did it anyway, I made it work
I did it tired, hmm
I paid the bills, I took the blame
I lost myself and kept my name
I bent so far, I almost broke
I swallowed words, I should have spoke
I held the line, I held the door
I gave too much then gave some more
Nobody clapped, nobody cheered
I'm still here
Don't ask me how I stayed
Some days I just obeyed
The voice inside that said don't quit
So I didn't
I did it tired, I did it scared
I did it broken, no one cared
I did it lonely, I did it hurt
I did it anyway, I made it work
I did it tired, hmm
I did it tired, hmm
I don't need a softer past
I just need my strength to last
I did it tired, I did it scared
I did it broken, no one cared
I did it tired, I did it scared
I did it broken, no one cared
I did it lonely, I did it hurt
I did it anyway, I made it work
I did it tired
Mmm
