i tried to analyze and understand   rationalize and comprehend   i'm trying but i'm failing now   i need the common sense   i've lost along the way, or never had   it's obviously gone   i tried to compromise and spread it thin   i played the odds and lost it all   i'm sinking too fast to call out   you'll never hear me crying   i tried to go your way, what can i say   i guess i never wanted it or wanted to be   the way you wanted it for me   i wish i could have given it to you   i guess we'll have to wait and see   give me some time away and let me sleep on it   i have a long life still ahead of me   for now i'll start with an apology   cause i admit it, i regret it   now i'm on the outside   of the circle   i thought i'd be in   go on this way   i'll never make it through   i'll rip a thousand parts into a million pieces, i've spread myself thin   and nothing is getting done
