stuck in reverse

Esta é uma daquelas músicas que sempre que dava no rádio do carro eu mudava de estação. Mas nos últimos dias tenho-a ouvido muitas vezes e prestei mais atenção à letra e... tive de a pôr aqui.

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

...

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
