Say Something Wonderful

So much to talk about, too little time on my own,

So much to think about, too little reason to say,

There’s so much that I feel, so much that’s there to ignore,

Acquaintance and history. Mistakes that were made and let go,

You always let me down and I always get you wrong

We’re too busy tearing ourselves apart

To see what we had all along

To say something wonderful,

I need something beautiful now,

I’m feeling so wasted and worthless for you.

The praise and the poetry, the nails that I hooked through your skin,

The love and the tragedy, the time put in no one can steel,

Too far to walk alone, too far to carry a load,

To hear myself think again,

Thinking so much that I drink myself away,

Away from the cynics I see.

You always let me down and I always miss your point,

We’re too busy tearing ourselves apart,

To see what we had in our hands.

So say something wonderful

I need something beautiful now,

I’m feeling so wasted and worthless,

Banging my head on the wall,

Thinking the worst of it all,

Self-pity owns me once more,

Trying to escape from it all.

Say something now.

I need something now.

I think the storms’ over now,

I think that it’s safe to come out,

I think that I need you now.
