Over Before It Begins

All those people that I’ve lost are still alive
Somewhere out of site, burying themselves
A voice turns on inside that says, «You have to make it right
There must be something you can say, if you try»
Make it clever, make it count
But when I say the words out loud
I know it’s over
It’s over before it begins
«I'm here to do what I think is best»
I say to myself curled up in bed
I’ll find some phrases
Find some melodies
Find some kind of truth
I’ll find a way to reach you
I’ll make it clever, make it count
But when I say the words out loud
I know it’s over
It’s over before it begins
And in the end this is only for me
The only way it’s ever been
The only way it could be
And in the end this is only for me
The only way it’s ever been
The only way it could be
