Over Before It Begins - John Nolan

All those people that I’ve lost are still alive

Somewhere out of site, burying themselves

A voice turns on inside that says, «You have to make it right

There must be something you can say, if you try»

Make it clever, make it count

But when I say the words out loud

I know it’s over

It’s over before it begins

«I'm here to do what I think is best»

I say to myself curled up in bed

I’ll find some phrases

Find some melodies

Find some kind of truth

I’ll find a way to reach you

I’ll make it clever, make it count

But when I say the words out loud

I know it’s over

It’s over before it begins

And in the end this is only for me

The only way it’s ever been

The only way it could be

And in the end this is only for me

The only way it’s ever been

The only way it could be
