These days I'm getting older

Before my time

To say I'm getting stronger

Would be a lie

I think you're trying to break me

Seems so unreal

Don't know how to take me

Don't know how I feel

Look around you

Do you see what I see

Other people think you try to

Make a fool of me

It seems to take so long

Till anything gets done

Why do I have to lose to get things

I've never won

I'm defeated again

I see the look on your face

I've got that feeling again

My mouth has a bad taste

My hope in empty promise

Put me to shame

I know its what you wanted

I need the pain

I was gonna be someone

You held me down

Didn't want me to move on

You let me drown
