Lyrics
Forest For The Trees
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All you want to be is insane
Wishing you were more than just plain
And when you try you try too hard it comes off fake
Many times I wanted to say
Plastic people like you will break
And soon enough it caught up and you went away
And if I
Never see
You Again
It'll be too soon to make amends
And if I
Never see
You Again
It'll be too soon to make amends
You like it when you make people wait
It's the only time you're calling the plays
Controlling nothing makes you execrate
Everybody knows you're in pain
We all know it stems from the shame
Because your actions called for a drastic fall from grace
And if I
Never see
You Again
It'll be to soon to make amends
And if I
Never see
You Again
It'll be to soon to make amends
You suck up life like you're a needle
Sticking in a vein for life
Keep up appearances when needed
You're used to changing overnight
I always wondered if you saw
What the rest of us could see
Your every day's a final straw
Can't see the forest for the trees
And if I
Never see
You Again
It'll be to soon to make amends
