On this lonely stretch of solitude
|
I'm thinking 'bout the things that I never do
|
All the promises that I made to you
|
Well they're just words
|
They're only words
|
|
It took so long for me to recognize
|
All this confidence that I couldn't find
|
I used to dim my light so you could shine
|
And that's what hurts
|
It really hurts
|
|
I wanna do everything right
|
But everything's going wrong
|
I want to feel heaven on earth
|
But nothing ever lasts that long
|
|
Baby I'm goin' mental
|
So much potential
|
I can't stand to watch it withering away
|
It's out of control now
|
It's getting old now
|
And I can't afford to waste another day
|
|
Well dust keeps piling up on the window sill
|
Man if you don't know by now I guess you never will
|
But there's no benefit in standing still
|
Not for you no no
|
And not for me
|
But I wanna make everything work
|
Something's just gotta give
|
I gotta start putting me first
|
It's killing me the way it is
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I wanna do everything right
|
But everything's going wrong
|
I wanna feel heaven on earth
|
And nothing ever lasts that long
|
|
[Chorus]
|
