Tired of trying

“Tired Of Trying” is a dramatic popballad with an uplifting sound and driving chorus, creating a surprising contrast to its topic: ilayda narrates the story of a relationship reaching its obvious breaking point, where you find yourself in the cycle of making heartfelt statements, accusations, apologies and retracting them. The song catches the exhaustion of continuously attempting to make things work , and finally - the silent acceptance that some relationships are destined to fade, no matter how much it hurts and how desperately we cling to their remnants.
