I'm giving up on getting my hopes up
Cause all they've ever really done is bring me down
You always seemed to be so different
Now I miss the days I wanted no one else around
Cause now I sit alone beset by the people I know
and I'm tired of faking everything
like this peace of mind that I can't seem to find
or a sense of apathy
I want to change my ways and live up to the name
of the man that I should be
Maybe then you'd love me
I used to think that I would be happy
I made a point to follow all of my dreams
Now I look at where it's got me
I kill myself over some distant memory
Of a girl that I can only dream to make mine
but my dreams are just parodies
of the life that I have always hoped to find
so I guess the jokes on me.
I want to change my ways and live up to the name
of the man that I should be
Maybe then you'd love me
