I'm longwinded with nothing to show for it
Getting by with this game face on
Faking smiles all the way
Such a tragic case of the blues
Causing me to drag my feet
Just can't seem to ever find a good pace
Watching from the sidelines
Struggling to find the good in anything
Is it deprecating not being the man
I always said I'd be
Maybe I'm the one that peaked years ago
And gave up on climbing
Always thought I'd bloom by thirty two
But gave up growing by twenty three
Repeat these words over again
While I try and fall asleep
You've got to do more than
Just trying to make it out alive
I'm so sick of feeling numb
Like moving forward is just useless
Am I too much of a coward
To face the man in the mirror
Or maybe I just gave up
