Lately, my dear I've been down and I've been reeling Nothing's giving me the bite Turn the faucet on But nothing's coming out tonight Echoes of a song Nothing's going on I've tried everything from the ceiling to the ground My hands are black with coal But a diamond won't be found Do my best to pry The rain down from the sky But the ground is good and dry tonight I confess I'm a mess, But honey you know that you know me best I confess I'm a mess, But honey I confess but honey, you know, you know I don't know if I can ever be all the things that you see Things you see in me I don't know if I can ever be all the things you see Things you see I've been dying for that something that makes me feel alive But coming up with nothing no matter how I try Can I take another zero and still give an ounce of fight? make a comeback, be the hero Nothing's coming out tonight I confess I'm a mess, But honey you know that you know me best I confess I'm a mess, But honey I confess but honey, you know, you know I don't know if I can ever be all the things that you see Things you see in me I don't know if I can ever be all the things you see Things you see I don't know if I can be I don't know if I can be Cuz I'm feeling down, down, down . . . I'm feeling down, down, down . . . I'm feeling down, down, down . . . I'm feeling down, down, down . . . Forgive me my dear but I just need to hear What's written all over your face A hundred times for the broken up lines Putting me back into place Cuz I don't know if I can ever be all the things that you see Things you see I don't know if I can ever be all the things you see Things you see I don't know if I can ever be all the things that you see Things you see in me I don't know if I can be I don't know if I can be I don't know if I can be (These things)
