Putting my new song together,
So many things on my mind.
Words and music go around in my head,
I can't seem to leave you behind.

I push you away, but I'm wasting my time,
I can't understand why I'm trying.
I'm telling myself that I really feel fine,
But I know there's a part of me dying,
Putting my new song together.

The man once said that you get what you give,
So change your ways before you get older.
If you're getting much more of what you're giving to me,
Better keep looking over your shoulder.

Don't need no one, you can do what you want,
Don't even have to think of tomorrow.
So when you come right down and get your head from the clouds,
Going to live just with you and your sorrow.

Putting my new song together,
So many things on my mind.
Words and music go around in my head,
I can't seem to leave you behind.
I push you away, but I'm wasting my time,
I can't understand why I'm trying.
I'm telling myself that I really feel fine,
But I know there's a part of me dying,
Putting my new song together.

I just don't see it would do any good,
