I just need something real to talk about
Yeah I'm stuck and I feel
I'm outta words to say
How did it get this way
Well I can hear what the people sing about
I just can't relate
I've been freaking out I skipped a page
Oh yeah is it too late
Over and again
I hear my voice
But the words don't mean a thing
Tell me what you think
Are these feelings strong enough to sing
And you can see when I open up my mouth
Stupid thoughts, stupid words come out
Oh god it hurts to say
I let it get this way
Well I've been sitting, staring at this page
I've been trying to find the words
Find the words that say it's worth the wait
But is it too late
Over and again
I hear my voice
But the words don't mean a thing
Tell me what you think
Are these feelings strong enough to sing
I'm lost
I'm ----- with words that keep swirling in my head
No time, no sleep
My mind is shutting down again
Over and again
I hear my voice
But the words don't mean a thing
Tell me what you think
Are these feelings strong enough
Over and again
I hear my voice
But the words don't mean a thing
Tell me what you think
Are these feelings strong enough to sing
Strong enough to sing
Strong enough to sing
