Someone please

E E7

Finish what I started

I tried my best

E E7

But my best was half-hearted

Someone please

E E7

You can take the credit

I can leave, walk away

E E7

Just forget it

I know what I want

What I wanted to say

But the words in my mouth

I just swallowed away

And the timing was wrong

And the weather was grey

And the feeling I felt

It had faded

It wasn't real

Someone please

E E7

Tell me what my name is

I wrote it down

E E7

But lost track of the paper

Someone please

E E7

Finish what I started

It's good enough

E E7

Let me lie in the darkness

I know what I want

What I wanted to say

But the words in my mouth

I just swallowed away

And the timing was wrong

And the weather was grey

And the feeling I felt

Hasn't faded

It's far too real
