[Verse 1]

Every day, it seems I lost myself

But I have tried to calm my strides

And just today, it seems that I'm a fool

'Cause I have tried to compromise

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Myself to them

Like they care at all

When I change myself

They will watch me fall

[Chorus]

I'm findin' love's a reason to complain

And you say I'm still young

But how it hurts you when you're young

I'm just lookin' for a greener place

And you say it's been done

But I don't care if it's been done

[Verse 2]

So don't claim you're unable to convince yourself

To a kid who convinced himself he was straight

From birth 'til twelve or thirteen, it was working

'Til the world seemed it was out to hurt me

Trust me, don't you blame yourself

From a man who once blamed himself for the faults of

Those who tried to trick me, it convinced me

I was slipping, I just needed fixing

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Now I know

They weren't friends at all

When I change myself

I will watch them fall

[Chorus]

I'm findin' love's a reason to complain

And you say I'm still young

But how it hurts you when you're young

I'm just lookin' for a greener place

And you say it's been done

But I don't care if it's been done
