Time and time the story goes How quick and easy it can slip away Survived it all for this long Is it really worth all the pain? I keep chasing a dream Without any thought of what I leave behind You struggle to keep it together No compassion or respect is given I can't get it down right One way all the time Out of control Too much to lose All these thoughts implanted Born to play the part from the start This tragic cycle continues I sense your backbone breaking It's time to take a look at this fuckin' picture I hold my fate and make the choice Believe me I know what you're thinking Less than perfect I know I am You better believe I'm willing to make the change I can't get it down right One way all the time Out of control Too much to lose All the thoughts implanted
