I'm burning out
Like a match in the wind
Searching for cover but I know I'll never win
(I'll never win)
(I'll never win)
I'm learning to fall 'cause
I'm too tired to stand
Face to face with all the broken things I am
(Face to face with all the broken things I am)
So I'm holding on
But not for long
I keep my failures
Close to me
What do you do
When nothing goes right
In your entire life
I always thought I'd get out
But I guess that I got caught
And now I see
It's indicative of me
My only map
Has been blown away
Retrace my steps back to where I fell apart
(I fell apart)
(I fell apart)
And I'll tell myself
That I'll try again
Lying 'cause I know I'll come in last
(Lying 'cause I know I'll come in last)
So I'm hanging on
But not for long
My efforts fell short
At the line
What do you do
When nothing goes right
In your entire life
I always thought I'd get out
But I guess that I got caught
And now I see
It's indicative of me
Pacing back and forth
I don't know where to turn
All this time I thought
I knew all there was to learn
But now I see
That was never the case
Never moving forward
I was running in place
I'm not down and out
I'm just down on my luck
My stable sense of self
Has been pulled out with the rug
I'm not down and out
I'm just down on my luck
I gotta keep pushing
Even when I feel like
Giving up
What do you do
When nothing goes right
In your entire life
I always thought I'd get out
But I guess that I got caught
And now I see
It's indicative of me
