[Verse 1]
I'm tired
Of knowin' what I need, but never chasin' it
On fire
They want me on my knees like I'm suckin' it
Learn fast
That no one gives a shit about the life I live
But tongue tied
They all have a say on the moves I make
[Chorus]
Maybe I'll just (sleep, sleep, sleep)
Lay my head down (sleep, sleep, sleep)
Maybe I'll just (sleep, sleep, sleep)
Never be found (sleep, sleep, sleep)
[Post-Chorus]
Tell me what I need
Take all my faults and hold them up to me
With all this sleep I'm swimmin' under
Please, can you make an example out of me
And don't give me no more sympathy
[Verse 2]
Untie me
I'm all tangled up in the strings I knit
I'll die
Trying to find my way out their stubborn grip
[Chorus]
Maybe I'll just (sleep, sleep, sleep)
Lay my head down (sleep, sleep, sleep)
Maybe I'll just (sleep, sleep, sleep)
Never be found (sleep, sleep, sleep)
[Post-Chorus]
Tell me what I need
Take all my faults and hold them up to me
With all this sleep I'm swimmin' under
Please, can you make an example out of me
And don't give me no more sympathy
[Outro]
Don't give me no more sympathy
Don't give me no more sympathy
(On fire)
Don't give me no more sympathy
(On fire)
Don't give me no more sympathy
(On fire) (Burn, baby, burn)
Don't give me no more sympathy
(On fire) (Burn, baby, burn)
Don't give me no more sympathy
(On fire) (Burn, baby, burn)
Don't give me no more sympathy
(On fire) (Burn, baby, burn)
Don't give me no more sympathy
(On fire) (Burn, baby, burn)
(Burn, baby, burn)
(Burn, baby, burn)
