Mental Lyrics

On this lonely stretch of solitude I'm thinking 'bout the things that I never do All the promises that I made to you Well, they're just words, they're only words
It took so long for me to recognize All this confidence that I couldn't find I used to dim my light, so you could shine And that's what hurts, it really hurts
I wanna do everything right But everything's going wrong I wanna feel heaven on earth But nothing ever lasts that long
Baby, I'm goin' mental So much potential I can't stand to watch it withering away
It's out of control now It's getting old now And I can't afford to waste another day
Well, dust keeps piling up on the window sill Man, if you don't know by now, I guess you never will But there's no benefit in standing still Not for you, no, no, and not for me
But I wanna make everything work Something's just gotta give I gotta start putting me first It's killing me the way it is
Baby, I'm goin' mental So much potential I can't stand to watch it withering away
It's out of control now It's getting old now And I can't afford to waste another day
I wanna do everything right But everything's going wrong I wanna feel heaven on earth And nothing ever lasts that long
Baby, I'm goin' mental So much potential I can't stand to watch it withering away
It's out of control now It's getting old now And I can't afford to waste another day
