LOVESICK
The Arrows Lyrics

You can't win them all they say
Some things are beyond our control and we cannot achieve success in everything.

Best you speak up loud enough before you
It is essential to communicate your feelings to avoid confusion and misunderstandings.

Before you fall too far away
Prioritizing and expressing emotions in time is imperative, else they may get neglected and forgotten as time passes by.

Before you're completely frayed
Expressing feelings at the right time is beneficial for an individual's emotional and mental wellness, and it helps to avoid overthinking and anxiety.

Or too deeply swayed cause
When we delay the expression of our feelings, we might lose control over them or misunderstand them, leading to unwanted emotional turmoil.

I'm lovesick and waiting
