Less Than Jake
Broken Words
[Verse 1: Roger Lima]
I'm standing way too close to the edge
Of embarrassing myself again
Every time I'm on this line
The words that come out don't say what's on my mind
[Pre-Chorus: Roger Lima]
What I'm feeling, I just can't express
[Chorus: Roger Lima]
I hang tight
I try not to spend all night
Overthinking what was said
As the words spin in my head
Yeah, I try with all my might
To get my sentences just right
So I say just what I meant
But it gets all fucked up instead
It's like words are broken again
[Verse 2: Roger Lima]
Did I really mean those things I just said?
Sounded better in my head
Maybe Japanese wouldn't let me down
So misunderstood, I've been handed the crown
[Pre-Chorus: Roger Lima]
What I'm feeling, I just can't express
(Can't express)
[Chorus: Roger Lima]
I hang tight
I try not to spend all night
Overthinking what was said
As the words spin in my head
Yeah, I try with all my might
To get my sentences just right
So I say just what I meant
But it gets all fucked up instead
It's like words are broken again
[Bridge: Roger Lima]
Like when I tell you I'm over this
I don't mean that I'm over every little piece of everything all at once
I'm picking battles I won't regret
Like when you tell me that I'm a mess
Hurtful words just drift away
We don't mean them the way we say, so anyway
[Chorus: Roger Lima]
I hang tight
I try not to spend all night
Overthinking what was said
As the words spin in my head
Yeah, I try with all my might
To get my sentences just right
So I say just what I meant
But it gets all fucked up instead
It's like words are broken again
It's like words are broken again
