Allow me my own diginity... |
|
I came to the city with my head so full of dreams |
|
The city was safe alright but not from me |
|
See I've been in trouble since I lay my suitcase down |
|
I love the sound of my own voice, but now I want it drowned |
|
I've got nothing to be proud of |
|
There's so little I possess |
|
I gave away my love and my, my diginity |
|
And somehow I covered up the rest |
|
How did it all go so wrong? |
|
It was nothing like this in the magazines |
|
I can hear my fathers voice, hear his laughter in the wind |
|
saying boy you'll never amount to anything |
|
I clutched at desire I never listened to my heart |
|
I didn't know I had one, that it could beat so fast |
|
Oh I've been a user, such a liar, such a fake |
|
Always thinking of myself, always on the make |
|
Now I've got nothing I can give you |
|
Except self-pity and regret |
|
but if you let me prove I love you |
|
I'll be the one boy you'll never forget |
|
How did it all go so wrong? |
|
It was nothing like this on the Tv screen |
|
I can hear my mothers voice, hear her crying in the wind |
|
saying boy, baby boy, you can be anything |
|
How did it all go so wrong? |
|
It was nothing like this in the magazines |
|
I can hear my fathers voice, hear his laughter in the wind |
|
He was right, I'll never be anything |
|
He was right, I'll never be anything |
