Broken Words

Album: Less Than Jake Durasi: 2:52

I'm standing way too close to the edge

Of embarrassing myself again

Every time I'm on this line

The words that come out don't say what's on my mind

What I'm feeling, I just can't express

I hang tight

I try not to spend all night

Overthinking what was said

As the words spin in my head

Yeah, I try with all my might

To get my sentences just right

So I say just what I meant

But it gets all fucked up instead

It's like words are broken again

Did I really mean those things I just said?

Sounded better in my head

Maybe Japanese wouldn't let me down

So misunderstood, I've been handed the crown

What I'm feeling, I just can't express

(Can't express)

I hang tight

I try not to spend all night

Overthinking what was said

As the words spin in my head

Yeah, I try with all my might

To get my sentences just right

So I say just what I meant

But it gets all fucked up instead

It's like words are broken again

Like when I tell you I'm over this

I don't mean that I'm over every

Little piece of everything all at once

I'm picking battles I won't regret

Like when you tell me that I'm a mess

Hurtful words just drift away

We don't mean them the way we say so anyway

I hang tight

I try not to spend all night

Overthinking what was said

As the words spin in my head

Yeah, I try with all my might

To get my sentences just right

So I say just what I meant

But it gets all fucked up instead

It's like words are broken again

It's like words are broken again
