Redundant Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We're livin' in repetition
Content in the same old shtick again

Now the routine's turnin' to contention
Like a production line goin' over and over and over, roller coaster

[Chorus]
Now I cannot speak
I've lost my voice
I'm speechless and redundant 'cause "I love you"'s not enough
I'm lost for words


[Verse 2]
Choreographed and lack of passion
Prototypes of what we were
Went full circle 'til I'm nauseous
Taken for granted, now I've wasted and faked it, ate it, now I hate it

[Chorus]
'Cause I cannot speak
I've lost my voice
I'm speechless and redundant 'cause "I love you"'s not enough
I'm lost for words

[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Now I cannot speak
I've 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've lost my voice
I'm speechless and redundant 'cause "I love you"'s not enough
I'm lost for words

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
