[Verse 1: Brandi Carlile]
Waiter, send this to the table, the party of one
The only other lonely soul in this place
And so you're finishing up your coffee
But then where’re you gonna run?
Where'd you get that look on your face?

[Verse 2: Sam Smith]
You should always let the sun go down on your anger
And let it burn you to sleep
And bring it closer to danger
To surrender and retreat
Sing your sad soul to sleep

[Chorus: Brandi Carlile & Sam Smith]
I loved you the first time I saw you
And you know I love you still
And I am tired but I am yours

[Verse 3: Sam Smith & Brandi Carlile]
Don't even think about your freedom
Or taking that flight
Or going back upon your promise after fighting for the right
Because your eggshells and your "I" statements
And your weaponised words
Are paper tigers now
Oh, your constant overthinking and your secretive drinking
Are making you more and more alone
And girl, you can slam the door behind you
It ain’t ever gonna close
Because when you're home, you're already home

[Chorus; Sam Smith & Brandi Carlile]
I am tired, I am tired, tired
I loved you the first time I saw you
And you know I love you still
I loved you the first time I saw you
And you know I love you still
I don't wanna be right anymore
Lord, I don't wanna fight anymore
I'm not taking your side anymore

[Outro: Brandi Carlile & Sam Smith]
Oh, I am tired
I am not my own
And I am leaving
And I'm coming home
'Cause I am yours, I am yours, I am yours, I am yours, I am yours
I am yours, I am yours, I am yours, I am yours, I am yours

Brandi Carlile (born June 1, 1981) is an award-winning singer-songwriter, whose music ranges from Americana, to country, pop and folk-rock. Known for her raw, powerful vocals and intense stage prescence, she initially gained attention with her sophomore album The Story in 2007. Over a decade later, she earned six Grammy nominations for her 2018 album By The Way, I Forgive You, the highest-charting album of her career that made her the most-nominated woman that year.

In 2019, Carlile had a busier year than ever, having co-founded the female country supergroup The Highwomen, and co-producing country legend Tanya Tucker’s comeback album While I’m Livin'.

In the early 2000s, she met twins Phil and Tim Hanseroth, who became her long-time bandmates and songwriting collaborators. According to an interview in No Depression, the three consider themselves a band despite Carlile’s name being on the endeavor, and they equally share their publishing equity, no matter who wrote any particular song.
