|
I'm tired. |
|
Cynical and broken, but wiser. |
|
Heavy with a sense of resentment,but i used to be so much different, |
|
I used to have so much faithwhen |
|
I started. |
|
You knew that |
|
I always meant it. |
|
I knew I could make a difference, |
|
I struggled to be heardand then finally, one day people started listening.and |
|
I knew itbut as soon as it began it was ruined. |
|
A slow descent from unique to routine,over and over,"just do it again and this time with feeling". |
|
The spotlight. |
|
The focus on the friends and the feelings. |
|
That made those stupid songs all worth singing. |
|
And don't you say a wordunless you're pretty sure that you want it analyzed. |
|
So we drovefor what seemed like daysover roadsand four lane highways. |
|
We said all we had to sayand |
|
I realized in time that it didn't mean anything. |
|
Never,not ever again. |
|
Not like that."It's only a matter of time". |
