As I kick myself again

And I try to pick myself back up again

Don't want to make the same mistake

Always the first with an excuse

But it's when you're cornered by the truth

Sometimes its easier that way



As you turn away

When realization stares you down

And you swear you've come to terms I'm weary

I've seen it all too many times



It never made much sense

So I always had to stop an second guess

Defeat myself before I start

Comfort seems so far away

Peace of mind is just a luxary

Forgetting is the hardest part



It's not what you say matters

Because anyone could say those words to me

You say that I lack compassion

But that's when my first reaction

Isn't how you wanted me to be



As I kick myself again

And I try to pick myself back up again

Don't want to make the same mistake
