It's Over Now
Darren Criss Lyrics

There it goes, another one is gone,
Another attempt at something has failed, and the opportunity is gone.

Another try, another one is wrong,
Yet another attempt has failed, adding to a growing list of failures.

But where to go? What is there to say, here?
Feeling lost and unsure of where to turn or what to do next.

No one knows I've never really felt
Keeping feelings bottled up inside, pretending everything is okay when it's not.

Good about the hand that I've been dealt.
Feeling like life has been unfair and dealt a bad hand of cards.

What kind of game is this anyway, here?
Questioning the purpose of life and why things seem so difficult.

I want to make a statement
Having a desire to speak out about something important.

About the pictures and their awful placement.
Wanting to critique artistic choices and placement of images.

I want everyone to see it too.
Desiring to share a perspective and have others understand it as well.

I tried to be someone,
Attempting to be someone who is respected and admired.

But I don't know how. I don't know how.
Feeling lost and insecure, not knowing how to become the person they want to be.

I've tried to be the one,
Trying to stand out and be recognized.

But it's over now, it's over now.
The opportunity to stand out and be recognized has passed.

I can see the loneliness in you.
Recognizing and empathizing with someone else's feelings of loneliness.

I know it well, and everybody's got it too.
Feeling like loneliness is a shared experience that everyone goes through.

It's funny how I know I'm not alone. Here.
Despite feeling lonely, there is a sense of connection and understanding in the moment.

That's how it seems when I'm walking through the halls;
Feeling like an outsider, disconnected from others in a social setting.

Everyone has reinforced their walls.
Others have put up barriers to protect themselves and maintain their own sense of well-being.

It's no one's fault that the vision ain't at all clear.
No one can be blamed for the lack of clarity or purpose in life.

I don't know what is worse than
Feeling like things could not get worse.

Feelin' like you're not a person.
Feeling dehumanized and disconnected from one's own sense of self.

I want everyone to sing along.
Desiring to create a sense of unity and shared understanding with others.

All I ever wanted was to reach out, reach out
Desiring human connection and support from others.

And have somebody take my hand.
Wanting someone to offer comfort, guidance, and support.

All I've ever gotten was locked out, locked out
Feeling rejected or excluded from social situations and relationships.

No body would ever understand.
Feeling like one's emotions and experiences are impossible for others to comprehend.

It's over now, it's over now.
The feelings of loneliness, rejection, and insecurity have passed, and there is hope for the future.
