Lost in Translation
For every word you’ve ever spoken
There’s been a dozen left unsaid
And every discourse gone unfinished
Is longing for an end
It’s always after you’ve conceded
When you really tend to shine
When you’ve cultivated genius
And picked that perfect line
Do you mean what you say
Or did you get lost in the Translation?
Did your words find their way
Or did they get lost in the Translation?
The words that travel through your lips
Have missed their mark again
Leaving all-too-subtle meanings
Only you can comprehend
So choose your words more carefully
And say what you intend
Cause the words you’ve labeled “should have said”
Must be ringing round your head
