Select language to translate this lyric
I'm agonizing over every line
Trying to appease an overworked mind
I know what this stands for
But I can't find the words
Toss and turn
For fucking hours
Not in my bed but in my head
I'm victim to
My own rue
There's no other way to say
I can't hold a candle to you
But I never wanted to
It's not enough for us
To live vicarious
I'm giving up on giving in
I won't settle for what I've been
I want to say what I need to say
Am I wasting my life away
Toss and turn
Yet again
Not in my bed but in my head
I've been here before
Believing I'm better dead
I'm an open book
Articulate
I'm not fluent with
What I communicate
Call me shy or hesitant
But I'm reluctant to fade away
What will I have to show when the clock expires
and I leave behind what matters most
I'm a painter painting with broken hands
A victim to my own demands
I can't hold a candle to you
But I never wanted to
It's not enough for us
To live vicarious
I'm giving up on giving in
I won't settle for what I've been
I want to say what I need to say
Am I wasting my life away
