Lyrics
I'm writing a song because I have to,
'cuz if I don't I'll go insane.
Sittin' around for way too long,
Wonderin' where I went wrong.
Pretty soon I'm singin', but I'm not sure what about.
Guitar strings are ringin' and words come out of my mouth.
Never goin' back to a world where music dies And I won't give in or listen to the lies.
I'm writing a song because I need to,
'cuz if I don't I'll go insane.
Sittin' around for way too long,
Wonderin' where I went wrong.
I wrote another lyric, does it come across too contrived?
I put a chorus near it, to keep the song alive.
Never goin' back to a world where music dies And I won't give in or listen to the lies.
I'm writing a song because I want to,
'cuz if I don't I'll stay the same.
Sittin' around for way too long,
Wonderin' where I went wrong.
