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

Look around you
Do you see what I see
Other people think you try to
Make a fool of me

My hope in empty promise
Put me to shame
I know it’s 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

Look around you
Do you see what I see
Other people think you try to
Make a fool of me
Look around you
Do you see what I see
Other people think you try to
Make a fool of me
