Mental

Mental Lyrics

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
