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]
