Over Before It Begins

[Verse 1]
All those people that I've lost are still alive
Somewhere out of sight, burying themselves
And a voice turns on inside that says, "You have to make it right
There must be something you can say, if you try"

[Chorus]
Make it clever, make it count
But when I say the words out loud
I know it's over
It's over before it begins

Make it clever, make it count
But when I say the words out loud
I know it's over, it's over
It's over before it begins

[Verse 2]
I'm here to do what I think is best
I say to myself curled up in bed
I'll find some phrases
Find some melodies
Find some kind of truth
I'll find a way to reach you

[Chorus]
I'll make it clever, make it count
But when I say the words out loud
I know it's over
It's over before it begins

I'll make it clever, make it count
But when I say the words out loud
I know it's over, it's over
It's over before it begins

[Refrain]
And in the end this is only for me
The only way it's ever been
The only way it could be
And in the end this is only for me
The only way it's ever been

And in the end this is only for me
The only way it's ever been
The only way it could be
And in the end this is only for me
The only way it's ever been
The only way it could be

And in the end this is only for me
The only way it's ever been
The only way it's ever been
