I wanted to be something more but I could not foresee
The way that I was killing you and you were killing me
I tried to paint a picture of a life that could not be
Trying to create a dream when left out to the sea
And I got what I wanted and then I lost control
The ship that had set sail but had no wind left to blow
The tide had taken over but the current couldn't stow
The path that I had chosen is the one I've always known
I tried to draw lines in the sand
Washed away at your own hands
Couldn't change the world if I tried
Won't be a martyr so goodbye
Goodbye
It all seemed so clear when I came to my senses
I took on the world it came on relentless
I tried to be something I'm not I forgot who I am
I'm only a man
I tried to draw lines in the sand
Washed away at your own hands
Couldn't change the world if I tried
Won't be a martyr so goodbye
Goodbye
It all seemed so clear when I came to my senses
I took on the world it came on relentless
I tried to be something I'm not I forgot who I am
Took every breath with me on my shoulders
My body collapsed and I felt so much older
It ripped out my heart dragged me through sand
I can't be your hero I'm only a man!
