[Verse 1]
I hate writing shit, it is so stupid
What's my problem today?
Maybe I'm depressed
Maybe I'm helpless to what comes out my pen
[Pre-Chorus]
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
[Verse 2]
I hate writing shit, it is so stupid
Why do I feel this way?
Feelings in my heart
I'm in way too far, can't it won't go away?
[Pre-Chorus]
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
[Chorus]
Before long, my song is dying!
Before long, my song is dying!
[Verse 3]
I hate writing shit, ain't looking forward to it
What's fucked up today?
Writing all this time
Feeling all that's mine come right out my hand
[Pre-Chorus]
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
[Chorus]
Before long, my song is dying!
Before long, my song is dying!
[Bridge]
Tell me now, I want to know
Is it me inside you see?
Life isn't fair, I got a little son
Now set me free
[Refrain]
Set me free!
Just set me free!
Just set me free!
Just set me free!
It just set me free!
It just set me free!
It just set me free!
It just set me free!
It just set me free!
It just set me free!
It just set me free!
It just set me free!
[Chorus]
Before long, my song is dying!
Before long, my song is dying!
[Outro]
That's why I died
That's why I try!
I hate writing shit, it is so stupid
What's my problem today?
Maybe I'm depressed
Maybe I'm helpless to what comes out my pen
[Pre-Chorus]
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
[Verse 2]
I hate writing shit, it is so stupid
Why do I feel this way?
Feelings in my heart
I'm in way too far, can't it won't go away?
[Pre-Chorus]
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
[Chorus]
Before long, my song is dying!
Before long, my song is dying!
[Verse 3]
I hate writing shit, ain't looking forward to it
What's fucked up today?
Writing all this time
Feeling all that's mine come right out my hand

Before long, my song is dying!
Before long, my song is dying!

Before long, my song is dying!

That's why I try!
