Mental Lyrics - Traveling Light - Courtney Jaye

On this lonely stretch of solitude 

I'm thinking 'bout the things that I never do 

All the promises that I made to you 

Well, they're just words, they're only words 

It took so long for me to recognize 

All this confidence that I couldn't find 

I used to dim my light, so you could shine 

And that's what hurts, it really hurts 

I wanna do everything right 

But everything's going wrong 

I wanna feel heaven on earth 

But nothing ever lasts that long 

Baby, I'm goin' mental 

So much potential 

I can't stand to watch it withering away 

It's out of control now 

It's getting old now 

And I can't afford to waste another day 

Well, dust keeps piling up on the window sill 

Man, if you don't know by now, I guess you never will 

But there's no benefit in standing still 

Not for you, no, no, and not for me 

But I wanna make everything work 

Something's just gotta give 

I gotta start putting me first 

It's killing me the way it is 

Baby, I'm goin' mental 

So much potential 

I can't stand to watch it withering away 

It's out of control now 

It's getting old now 

And I can't afford to waste another day 

I wanna do everything right 

But everything's going wrong 

I wanna feel heaven on earth 

And nothing ever lasts that long 

Baby, I'm goin' mental 

So much potential 

I can't stand to watch it withering away 

It's out of control now 

It's getting old now 

And I can't afford to waste another day
