couldn't get it right

Singer:american authors

i'm looking for the right words to say to you

cause i know you've heard them a time or two

i can't feel everybody but you

when you're in my eyes you can see straight through

last night i dreamt we never change

when the roof we built settled up in flames

as i touched but then chased you were too far to save

now i'm lost between dreams and being awake

cause i

i couldn't get it right

no matter what i've tried to say

my words just gave me away

yeah and you

you don't know what to do

i'll take a dream go to release my mind

and sleep this away

but can we just hit the light

the light of day

open up our eyes

see beyond the fray

i tried to talk

it was never enough

did my breath fall short or did i say too much

i've heard the voice

i captured the sound

made a song not the same now that you're not around

and i

i've tried to change

you say that i've come so far but remain the same

cause i

i couldn't get it right

no matter what i've tried to say

my words just gave me away

yeah and you

you don't know what to do

i'll take a dream go to release my mind

and sleep this away

i'll sleep this away

i'll sleep this away

yeah

yeah and i

i couldn't get it right

no matter what i've tried to say

my words just gave me away

yeah

yeah and you

you don't know what to do

i'll take a dream go to release my mind

and sleep this away

yeah yeah

yeah

yeah

yeah yeah cause i

i couldn't get it right

no matter what i've tried to say

my words just gave me away

yeah and you

you don't know what to do

i'll take a dream go to release my mind

and sleep this away

i'll sleep this away
