[00:08.15] I never meant to make it such a mess

[00:12.15] I never thought that it would go this far

[00:16.91] So I just stand here sorry

[00:19.66] Searching for something to say

[00:23.40] Something to say

[00:28.90] Words fail, words fail

[00:34.15] There's nothing I can say

[00:46.66] I guess I thought I could be part of this

[00:50.65] I never had this kind of thing before

[00:54.91] I never had that perfect girl

[00:58.40] Who somehow could see the good part of me

[01:04.92] I never had the dad who stuck it out

[01:08.91] No corny jokes or baseball gloves

[01:12.65] No mom who just was there

[01:15.41] 'Cause mom was all that she had to be

[01:21.15] That's not a worthy explanation

[01:24.90] I know there is none

[01:29.66] Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done

[01:37.41] Words fail, words fail

[01:41.90] There's nothing I can say

[01:45.40] Except sometimes, you see everything you wanted

[01:49.40] And sometimes, you see everything you wish you had

[01:53.90] And it's right there, right there, right there

[01:58.66] In front of you

[02:03.40] And you want to believe it's true

[02:08.40] So you make it true

[02:13.91] And you think maybe everybody wants it

[02:23.90] And needs it, a little bit too

[02:56.65] This was just a sad invention

[03:01.16] It wasn't real, I know

[03:06.90] But we were happy

[03:09.90] I guess I couldn't let that go

[03:15.41] I guess I couldn't give that up

[03:19.91] I guess I wanted to believe

[03:22.91] 'Cause if I just believe

[03:25.41] Then I don't have to see what's really there

[03:32.40] No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than these broken parts

[03:38.16] Pretend I'm something other than this mess that I am

[03:42.40] 'Cause then I don't have to look at it

[03:45.16] And no one gets to look at it

[03:47.65] No, no one can really see

[03:52.41] 'Cause I've learned to slam on the brake

[03:56.90] Before I even turn the key

[04:01.41] Before I make the mistake

[04:05.66] Before I lead with the worst of me

[04:09.65] I never let them see the worst of me

[04:25.40] 'Cause what if everyone saw?

[04:30.40] What if everyone knew?

[04:35.15] Would they like what they saw?

[04:39.40] Or would they hate it too?

[04:45.40] Will I just keep on running away from what's true?

[04:54.41] All I ever do is run

[05:02.65] So how do I step in

[05:08.16] Step into the sun?

[05:17.66] Step into the sun
