I was waiting for some kinda sign Some kinda indication I was wasting my time I got myself up out the basement I faked it long enough to say I made it I was patient, I put up a fight I kept saying to myself, oh the future is bright I confronted everything that I was faced with And put it off another day I don't know why I don't start but I can't quite Seem to open up the communication I wanna try so hard but I can't find Anything to give me the motivation I took medication, went under the knife I tried to straighten up, I even took your advice I honestly and humbly engaged in My slow and steady rehabilitation I hesitated, what a surprise And then I think I kinda took my eye off the prize Spending all the time I shoulda wasted If I'm gonna throw it all away I don't know why I don't start but I can't quite Seem to open up the communication I wanna try so hard but I can't find Anything to give me the motivation You've come a long way just to leave all of this behind If you hold on too long it only gets harder to decide Before you're gone why don't you try living your best lie You're only looking the other way 'cause the future's still too bright I don't know why I don't start but I can't quite Seem to open up the communication I wanna try so hard but I can't find Anything to give me the motivation
