Words Fail |
I never meant to make it such a mess |
I never thought that it would go this far |
So I just stand here sorry |
Searching for something to say |
Something to say |
Words fail, words fail |
There’s nothing I can say |
I guess I thought I could be part of this |
I never had this kind of thing before |
I never had that perfect girl |
Who somehow could see the good part of me |
I never had the dad who stuck it out |
No corny jokes or baseball gloves |
No mom who just was there |
'Cause mom was all that she had to be |
That’s not a worthy explanation |
I know there is none |
Nothing can make sense of all these things I’ve done |
Words fail, words fail |
There’s nothing I can say |
Except sometimes, you see everything you wanted |
And sometimes, you see everything you wish you had |
And it’s right there, right there, right there |
In front of you |
And you want to believe it’s true |
So you make it true |
And you think maybe everybody wants it |
And needs it a little bit too |
This was just a sad invention |
It wasn’t real, I know |
But we were happy |
I guess I couldn’t let that go |
I guess I couldn’t give that up |
I guess I wanted to believe |
'Cause if I just believe |
Then I don’t have to see what’s really there |
No, I’d rather pretend I’m something better than |
These broken parts |
Pretend I’m something other than |
This mess that I am |
'Cause then I don’t have to look at it |
And no one gets to look at it |
No, no one can really see |
'Cause I’ve learned to slam on the brake |
Before I even turn the key |
Before I make the mistake |
Before I lead with the worst of me |
I never let them see the worst of me |
'Cause what if everyone saw? |
What if everyone knew? |
Would they like what they saw? |
Or would they hate it too? |
Will I just keep on running away from what’s true? |
All I ever do is run |
So how do I step in |
Step into the sun? |
Step into the sun |
