”Too Tired” (2024) By Rachel Sumner and Ian Fitzgerald
I’ve stared down this door handle
Hoping it’s about to turn
I’ve kept the candles lit
‘Til there was no wick left to burn 

I’m too tired to move
I’m too tired to care
I’m too tired to fume
Or feel any sense of despair

Darling, I’ve waited 
All I can for your call
Turns out I’d done better 
Not to have waited at all

Not a shred of remorse
Not a speck of regret
No, I’m not out of sorts
I’m just going to bed

Sure I could stay up
And watch this old movie again
But darling, I’ve seen this before
There’s no need to sit through the end

I get that you’re busy
I get you’re a popular man
If your schedule allowed it
Do you think you could pencil me in?

Oh baby, forget it, instead
I think I’ll just go to bed
