Never had it easy
Always making life harder for myself
There were too many options
And one by one they're placed back on the shelf
Why did it take so long to finally get the message through?
Why would it be so wrong if I never wanted to lose?
Give it to me straight now
Do you think I'm slowly going insane
I tried going with the flow
But my flow is always headed against the grain
Why did it take so long to finally get the message through?
Why would it be so wrong if I never wanted to lose?
Lay down your arms and fight another day
Lay down and say goodnight to dreams from yesterday
But they're still in my head
And I'm so conflicted
So I'll put it all behind me
notch another tally against the wall
I am never short of failures
I won't stop until I've accomplished them all
Why did it take so long to finally get the message through?
Why would it be so wrong if I never wanted to lose?
Lay down your arms and fight another day
Lay down and say goodnight to dreams from yesterday
But they're still in my head
And I'm so conflicted
Lay down your arms and fight another day
Lay down and say goodnight to dreams from yesterday
But they're still in my head
And I'm so conflicted
