lyrics

Please excuse my manners for I suffer from a problem
of believing that my thoughts won't go away unless I say them
So it might sound like I'm talking to myself when I'm deep in conversation
It's a problem that I'm working on, I thank you for your patience
But imagine for a second if I could listen to every word that you just said
Instead of getting caught up in my head trying to finish all your sentences
and occasionally letting the words slip form my lips that I want to say next
But if I wanted to hear what I wanted to hear I would talk to myself all day instead of you
Lalala I can't hear you
Lalalala I'm not listening
Now I'm hating on myself but I'm not getting better so I'm hating on you so it's not self-centered now I'm hating on you but I'm not feeling better so I'm hating on myself and I just need to breathe
God grant me serenity and I swear that if I make it through this moment then I will believe
God grant me serenity and I swear that if I make it through this moment then I will believe in you
Lalalala I can't hear you
Lalalallalalala
And sometimes when I play my songs I wonder if there's anyone listening at all but I swear to god I hope I die before I ever get bored of singing to myself
