Oh misguided soul
You say you're not like every other so and so
You like to think you know
Just how far everything should go and so
You never really try
To reach the bottom that you buried alive inside
So your story goes
A shallow river but it flows and flows
You almost made it
You got so jaded along the way
You almost made it but your heart couldn't take it
When you gave it away
And now you're fading away
You said that time's so cruel
Still lickin' wounds that it left on you
Too many scars to care
No time to heal 'em then why so much to spare
The times that hurt so bad
You look back on them and long for what we had
Oh what a hand to play
But you took the cards and threw them away
Chorus
Oh what lucky break
Nobody watched you make a single mistake
You get to keep your pride
But I get to watch it eat you alive
Chorus
