Failing, Flailing Lyrics - Singles - Streetlight Manifesto

You say you've got the cure, 

But I don't have a disease. 

And you say you've got the answers, 

But I've made no inquiries. 

And you're failing, bailing, 

Good God, motherfucker, now I hear you flailing. 

I see you flailing, 

That's right, I think I do, 

I see you flailing away, away. 

I know it's hard but so are you 

And so am I and we'll pull through together, together. 

And I said that it's been years but still I fear 

That someone dear will leave me here forever, forever 

And I said: "Hey!"

Hey, you've got to keep trying, 

You've got to keep holding onto what you've got 

Because what you've got it sure ain't a lot. 

And hey! 

Everyone's falling down, 

Everyone's holding out for what you've got, 

But what you've got, it sure ain't a lot. 

And you act like it is but you know that it's not, 

And even if it was, would you ever give it up 

If I told you what you had was really nothing? 

Nothing? Nothing! 

Yes, it's nothing, nothing at all. 

Well, you say your life's a bore 

And I can't quite disagree, 

If you judge your life by the pieces of shit that inhabit your TV. 

Because they stand so proud, and they talk too loud 

And every other word is a lie. 

I've found that everyone who is anyone is a waste of time, 

A waste of time.

Hey, you've got to keep trying, 

You've got to keep holding onto what you've got 

Because what you've got it sure ain't a lot. 

And hey! 

Everyone's falling down, 

Everyone's holding out for what you've got, 

But what you've got, it sure ain't a lot.

And even if it was, would you ever give it up 

If I told you what you had was really nothing? 

Nothing? Nothing! 

Yes, it's nothing, nothing at all. 

Nothing, 

You won't say nothing, 

You won't say nothing, 

And that's just fine. 

Nothing, 

You won't say nothing, 

You won't say nothing, 

And that's just fine. 

Sticks and stones may break my bones 

But names will never hurt me, 

And it's been years but still I fear that someday they'll desert me. 

Oh, it's hard, I know, 

When it's time to stand alone 

And no one understands you. 

Sticks and stones may break my bones 

But names will never hurt me, 

And it's been years but still I fear that someday they'll desert me. 

Oh, it's hard, yes I know, 

When it's time to stand alone 

And no one understands you. 

Sticks and stones may break my bones 

But names will never hurt me, 

And it's been years but still I fear that someday they'll desert me. 

Oh, it's hard, I know, 

When it's time to stand alone 

And no one understands you.
