So Long

[Chorus]

I’ve got so much to lose

And I’ve waited so long

When I look all around

Everything has gone wrong

I’ve got so much to lose

But I’ve waited so long

When I look all around

Everything has gone…


[Verse 1]

All along, standing strong

But I think I’m fixing to quit

I feel so old and I can’t control my life

And I’m sick of it

Always try to do the right thing

Just do it in the wrong way

An open mouth with a foot in it

You just walk away

Talk away, non stop ticking clock

You never stop to listen

I just stand here transfixed

And watch your lips glisten in the moonlight

Day for night, you tricked me it's okay

On the loose or on the noose

You like it either way

Gotta say, things got away

I’m really sorry to you

Life of regret, that I can’t forget

And I’m only on life #2

7 left, can’t catch my breath

And I’m left feeling like a feline

Empty heart and I’m torn apart

Now I’m looking for a free mind

Rewind, or just stop the tape

And where it looks bad, just cut it

Sinking ship and a swollen lip

And if my mouth opens up, just shut it

Air raid siren blaring out

But I don’t hear a thing

You keep calling, going all in

But I don’t hear it ring


[Chorus]

I’ve got so much to lose

And I’ve waited so long

When I look all around

Everything has gone wrong

I’ve got so much to lose

But I’ve waited so long

When I look all around

Everything has gone…


[Verse 2]

You can’t stop my return

I’m feeling like a champion

So many things that I’ve been through

And I finally came beyond

Some deficits I was born with

And some I made myself

I screwed up my own life

I didn’t need your help

Called you back on the pager

The sound went: "Beep beep beep!"

S.O.S. and 911, but still won’t hear a peep

Just last week I was gone

And you had no idea

And now I’m hiding in plain sight

Not one single tear

Down my cheek, another week

And things just start to change

Brand new mission

And I’m wishing for someone else to blame

It’s all the same, only if that were true

Sideways glances, second chances

It all comes back to you

What to do, I’m stranded

On an island I created

It doesn’t matter what I do

This was fated

Look up, see the eyes of a monster

Things get clearer

It’s at that moment that I realize

I’m looking in a mirror


[Outro]

Everything has gone wrong
