And here’s the cold truth
You’ll amount to nothing
And while I am setting the world on fire
You’re just standing by with eyes wide shut
Roaming endlessly
No rest as far as the eyes can see
I’m still stuck in the in-between
Safe and sound
Surrounded by these four walls
I am trapped within this empty space
No direction in sight, rest assured
I’ve been waiting in vain for nothing
Stop interfering and take a look at yourself
And realize all the wrong moves you made
I’m losing my temper
Losing my mind
Over the things that I can’t change
It will never change
Pick up the pieces
And try to rebuild the mess you made
And I hope for your sake you stay
Ever so far away
You wasted your life for the whole world to see
And it’s such a shame
I put my life on the line
Now I only feel disdain
The only thing that I leave you with is the mark of my footprint
Stuck inside your head until this day
I’m in a place where I wanna be and nothing can change it
Since I never wanted you to go with me
I spent my time staring out of the window
To a world that I didn’t know
And all I am doing is wishing for brighter days
And I’ve been losing sleep over you
And I can’t decide if I’m stuck or just held down
By your mistakes
Held down by your mistakes
Go!
How does it feel for you to be a fucking waste?
This is where I draw the line
Whatever happens now is up for me to decide
