[verse 1]
To tell you the truth I've been better, not that you're asking
When you take all these loses you also lose passion
Don't mistake that for giving up, there's a big difference
Ignore the insistence just my way to make distance
Learned when you get your hopes up and everything's great
That's around the same time, those same hopes will deflate
Future looking bright, things going according to plan
Looking back, I think that's when the warnings began
Should have known, once again fell for that trap
The same hand that fed me is now holding me back
I need some help too ashamed to ask
I'm going to die over pride, in my mind I think this pain won't last
So I'm not defeated just a little beaten
The way I've treated my demons is the reason I'm weakened
So it's my fault
You don't blame gravity when you fall
I'm just trying to rid this agony once and for all

[verse 2]
I'm now an example
Back at sqaure one but can't find the right angle
Feel so alone even though others share in the pain
Spent my extra time busy just repairing my name
I can't spare any change but I want to evolve
You're the problem if you don't think there's a problem to solve
Support system needs fixed
Not my family, need friends willing to roll sleeves without any tricks
We're clearly far
These side-view mirror friends will have you thinking you're closer than you really are
Energy wasted, friendships faded
Like connections were traded for memories, and it's all so hard
Wasting away, some are chasing the pain
I relate because I'm facing the same
And that's a tough pill to swallow
Here's the real sorrow
Those days were better because today was tomorrow
