[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna do everything right
But everything's going wrong
I wanna feel heaven on earth
But nothing ever lasts that long
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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 standin' still
Not for you, no no
And not for me
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna do everything right
But everything's going wrong
I wanna feel heaven on earth
And nothing ever lasts that long
[Chorus]
Baby, I'm goin' mental
So much potential
I can't stand to watch it withering away
It's out of control now (Out of control now)
It's getting old now (It's getting old now)
And I can't afford to waste another day
[Outro]
Yeah
Ooh, ooh
