We're living in repetition Content in the same old shtick again Now the routine's turning to contention Like a production line going over and over and over Roller coaster Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice I'm speechless and redundant 'Cause I love you's not enough I'm lost for words Choreographed and lack of passion Prototypes of what we were Went full circle 'til I'm nauseous Taken for granted now I waste it, faked it, ate it, now I hate it 'Cause I cannot speak, I lost my voice I'm speechless and redundant 'Cause I love you's not enough I'm lost for words Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice I'm speechless and redundant 'Cause I love you's not enough I'm lost for words Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice I'm speechless and redundant 'Cause I love you's not enough I'm lost for words
