lyrics

I got love inside of me, but it’s limited and I’m lazy.
And it’s wasting away, wasting away, wasting away.

When did it start the disconnect, the misdirecting.
When did it stick, when did it cleave, the sickly sweetening?
Oh I wish I had a reason to be complicated.
I just tried my best and made a mess, like everybody else I guess.

Oh, I got love inside of me, but it’s limited and I’m lazy.
And it’s wasting away, wasting away, wasting away.

When did it stop the showing up, the making of you?
When did it seem, oblivion meant nothing to you?
Oh I wish I had a reason to be underrated.
I just tried my best, not to make a mess,
now they’re in love with someone else, I guess.

Oh I got love inside of me, but I don’t know where it should go.
And you’re wasting away, wasting away, wasting away.
And you’re wasting away, wasting away, wasting away.
And you’re wasting away, wasting away, wasting away.

Before I turn over, I’ll turn to you.
