I tried to analyze and understand
Rationalize and comprehend

I’m trying but I’m failing now
I need the common sense
I’ve lost along the way or never had
It’s obviously gone

I tried to compromise and spread it thin
I played the odds and lost it all
I’m sinking too fast to call out
You’ll never hear me crying

I tried to go your way, what can I say?
I guess, I never wanted it or wanted to be
The way you wanted it for me
I wish I could have given it to you
I guess we’ll have to wait and see

Give me some time away
And let me sleep on it
I have a long life still ahead of me

For now I’ll start with an apology
'Cause I admit it, I regret it
Now I’m on the outside
Of the circle I thought I’d be in

Go on this way, I’ll never make it through
I’ll rip a thousand parts into a million pieces
I’ve spread myself thin
And nothing's getting done
