If you only try to please others, you're going to resent those people you're trying to please; the ones who are often closest to you. If you choose a path that you yourself want to take, then you're going to be much kinder to the people in your life.

I'm so tired, but I can't sleep. Standing on the edge of something much too deep.

Every time I'm close to you, there's too much I can't say, and you just walk away. And I forgot to tell you I love you.

If I cried me a river of all my confessions, would I drown in my shallow regret?

Everybody loves you when you're easy, so don't disappoint them.

I want to be alone. Sympathies wasted on my hollow shell. I feel there's nothing left to fight for. No reason for a cause.

Music is very nebulous, and you can conjure up a lot of moods with music. But lyrics - they're a lot more tangible. They're much more specific. And you want to say something meaningful and creative and artistic and that tells a story and that takes people someplace else.
