If
Glenn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say "use what you got,
Don't throw it away.
You were given a lot.
Don't waste another day."
They say I've got this special thing,
But I don't know just how to go about it.
But I'm sad without it.
All these thoughts in my head
When I'm lying in bed.
Keep me from—
They keep me from
What I'm meant to be.
If I sing, will the pieces of
My heart fall into place?
If I sing, will this nightmare end
And the memories start to fade?
If I dance, can I just move
The pain away?
If I sing, will I be okay?
Will I be okay?
They say it's never too late,
Well I don't know if that's true.
I probably shouldn't wait,
But it feels so soon.
All these thoughts in my head
When I'm lying in bed.
Keep me from—
They keep me from what
I'm meant to be.
If I sing, will the pieces of my heart
Fall back in place?
If I sing, will this nightmare end and the memories start to fade?
If I dance, can I just move the pain away?
If I sing, will I be okay?
All these thoughts in my head.
When I'm lying in bed.
All these thoughts in my head
When I'm lying in bed.
Keep me from—
They keep me from
What I'm meant to be.
If I sing, will the pieces of my heart
Fall back in place?
If I sing, will this nightmare end and the memories start to fade?




If I dance, can I just move the pain away?
If I sing, will I be okay?
