So let me just try To explain what's been on my mind In my defense there's some things I wish I never said There's a thousand things that you'll never get If a picture's worth a thousand words I'll paint an invitation to let you in I wish you could see inside my head To answer all of the questions that you have And I'm sorry about the promises I said I would but I never did, I was wrong I wish you could see inside my head I've got the time But I've got priorities Like trying to save the world sometimes by telling stories But they're bound to keep you up at night And they won't work until you put up a fight It takes a little patience to get it right I wanna help But I can't help myself
