Words Fail from the DEAR EVAN HANSEN Original Broadway Cast Recording
[00:13.37] I never meant to make it such a mess
[00:17.62] I never thought that it would go this far
[00:22.60] So I just stand here sorry
[00:25.61] Searching for something to say
[00:28.86] Something to say
[00:34.10] Words fail, words fail
[00:38.61] There's nothing I can say
[00:52.10] I guess I thought
[00:53.40] I could be part of this
[00:56.35] I never had this kind of thing before
[01:00.86] I never had that perfect girl
[01:03.85] Who somehow could see the good part of me
[01:10.60] I never had the dad who stuck it out
[01:14.61] No corny jokes or baseball gloves
[01:18.34] No mom who just was there
[01:20.88] 'Cause mom was all that she had to be
[01:26.60] That's not a worthy explanation
[01:30.63] I know there is none
[01:35.10] Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done
[01:43.09] Words fail, words fail
[01:47.86] There's nothing I can say
[01:51.37] Except sometimes,
[01:52.34] you see everything you wanted
[01:54.61] And sometimes,
[01:56.85] you see everything you wish you had
[01:59.60] And it's right there, right there,
[02:01.85] right there
[02:04.26] In front of you
[02:08.77] And you want to believe it's true
[02:14.78] So you make it true
[02:20.03] And you think maybe everybody wants it
[02:29.53] And needs it, a little bit too
[03:03.78] This was just a sad invention
[03:08.53] It wasn't real, I know
[03:13.79] But we were happy
[03:18.01] I guess I couldn't let that go
[03:22.76] I guess I couldn't give that up
[03:27.78] I guess I wanted to believe
[03:30.01] 'Cause if I just believe
[03:32.53] Then I don't have to see what's really there
[03:39.28] No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than these broken parts
[03:45.55] Pretend I'm something other than this mess that I am
[03:50.06] 'Cause then I don't have to look at it
[03:52.30] And no one gets to look at it
[03:54.80] No, no one can really see
[03:59.54] 'Cause I've learned to slam on the brake
[04:04.04] Before I even turn the key
[04:08.79] Before I make the mistake
[04:12.80] Before I lead with the worst of me
[04:17.05] I never let them see the worst of me
[04:33.05] 'Cause what if everyone saw?
[04:37.29] What if everyone knew?
[04:41.94] Would they like what they saw?
[04:47.11] Or would they hate it too?
[04:52.38] Will I just keep on running away from what's true?
[05:01.88] All I ever do is run
[05:09.18] So how do I step in
[05:14.68] Step into the sun?
[05:24.93] Step into the sun
