I wish I could just get away but it's never that easy,
I wish you'd stay another day but we've all got shit to deal with on our own.
Thought I'd finish what I started back when everything made sense,
I've missed so many chances here and this songs my last defense,
And I'm waiting for everything to fall back in line,
And Im wishing that everything would be clear to me again.
I don't like what I've become,
Some angry cynic fucked up kid,
I'm broken beyond repair,
I called for help and no-one was there,
I keep on looking back,
Everything was so much simpler but now I'm up at 2:30 writing songs for myself,
I'll never be the same.
Now I'm gone.
Now would you look at me I always have so much to say but no way to say it,
This is shit I never had to worry about back then.
The words I tried so hard to find slip away like sand in my fingers,
I get lost among a million thoughts that never leave.
Will I end up like them?
Will I end up like you?
I don't like what I've become,
Some angry cynic fucked up kid,
I'm broken beyond repair,
I called for help and no-one was there,
I keep on looking back,
Everything was so much simpler but now I'm up at 2:30 writing songs for myself,
I'll never be the same.
Now I'm gone.
Well I wish I could just get away but it's never that easy...
Is this what I've become?
I never thought I'd get this weak but,
Things are looking up,
Sure it pours but the sun still shines on,
If I keep on looking back,
Then I'll never move ahead I'll stay rotting here I should enjoy the fall before I freeze to death in another winter,
I'm getting better.
