Like a potted plant Too big for its home I'll take what I'm given But I won't make any growth I am perfectly still Hurdling through time Wilted on the sill Waiting for these bells to chime You should know better With all that you've seen No one ever thinks that It'll happen to me Tried to stop the train But it wasn't enough So I wrote all these songs But it wasn't enough Scowling in my deathbed Because it wasn't ever enough My growing neuroses My dwindling friends I can't see the future But I know how it ends Days rushing by you Like leaves in the fall And while the world's fading to black You couldn't make time to call? I should know better Who I'd turn into No one ever thinks that It'll happen to you Held your frail hands But it wasn't enough May as well stop the sun But it wasn't enough Scowling at me in my dreams Because it wasn't ever enough
