lyrics
I got older,
but not old enough to complain.
I started working,
and I forgot a lot of things.
Then it hit me
all at once.
People could see me,
the scaring on my face,
two blank, black eyes
that never shone up.
so I said it out loud,
why try me so hard?
I was just playing along
I thought you wanted me to.
I've been poor and unwanted,
felt misunderstood.
But I studied hard and landed on
my two feet.
So, I got where I wanted
or maybe where I needed to be
So what now?
These dreams weren't hot,
even when they were new.
I lost my perspective
all the edge that was me
If only I knew
what it was I wanted all along.
