How have i come to this
How did i slip & fall
How did i throw half a lifetime away
Without any thought at all
This should've been my time
It's over, it never began
Facing a world, for once not on my side
I simply turned & ran
I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of twist in my fate
But i know the truth & it haunts me
I learned it a little too late
I know the truth & it mocks me
I know the truth & it shocks me
I learned it a little too late
People have faith in me
I think i once did too
I promise whoever has a hold on our lives
I'll see the bad times through
This should have been my time
It's over, it never began
Facing a world, for once not on my side
I simply turned & ran
I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of shift in the stars
But i know the truth & it haunts me
It's flown just a little too far
I know the truth & it mocks me
I know the truth & it shocks me
It's flown just a little too far
I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of twist in my fate
But i know the truth & it haunts me
I learned it a little too late
