[Verse 1]

I was lead to believe, but now I know for sure

When the wind's knocked out of me

Only one thing that can be the cure and bring me to my feet

When all the words just relate

I just hit play, and when the record comes to an end

I'll listen all over again

[Chorus]

Truth is, I'm taking a step back and taking some time to think

I've just got to express myself with this pen and ink

Because I've got, I've got, I've got, something left to say

This means all the world to me, these words never let me down!

[Verse 2]

This all made me who I am, who I am. This is how I became a man

So when breath escapes and my eyes close

Just hit play and when the record comes to an end

I'll sing it all over again

[Chorus]

Truth is, I'm taking a step back and taking some time to think

I've just got an express myself with this pen and ink

Because I've got, I've got, I've got something left to say

This means all the world to me, these words never let me down!

[Verse 3]

This is my everything

Come do your worst, this is my obsession

I chose this life, and I've found my own direction

[Chorus]

Truth is, I'm taking a step back and taking some time to think

I've just got an express myself with this pen and ink

Because I've got, I've got, I've got something left to say

This means all the world to me, these words never let me down!

Never let me down

[Outro]

When this record comes to an end, I'll just start it all over again
