lyrics

Verse:
At some point, they stop listening
To your wishes and your dreams.
At some point, they stop caring about
What you have to say and what you think.
Oh, oh.

Years go by, and you're mystified
By the velocity at which they fly.
Everyone else is moving along,
While you just watch from the sidelines.
Oh, oh.

Chorus:
These things that you create,
They can't approximate
These things you say you want.
They're too little, too late.
And these things you say you'll do,
You won't get around to.
They could be within reach,
But something's wrong with you.
Oh, oh.

Verse:
Even if you have potential,
You lack the wherewithal to live it out.
And your track record's spotty enough
That your future is cast in doubt.

You'll always be a disappointment
To other people and to yourself.
Moreover, no one will ever love you,
So put that hope back up on the shelf.
Oh, oh.

Chorus

Bridge:
Day by day, you manage, you scrape by.
A small, windowless room is your whole life.

Instrumental break

Bridge

Outro:
Just succumb to your despondency.
No point in trying at all.
Or, instead, you could take everything I say
With exactly one grain of salt.
Oh, oh.
