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
