Can't really say it's been a good year |
|
I know I'll see better days |
|
Some things that shouldn't have been going on around here |
|
Have been going on anyways |
|
I was face down in a pool of my own self-pity |
|
Gotta pick myself up and get out of this city |
|
Gotta leave before I hurt someone |
|
There's a place somewhere I'm gonna find |
|
Where I can feel safe and leave it all behind |
|
Gonna get away and have myself a little fun |
|
'Cause you can knock me down, run me over |
|
Back up and run me down again |
|
You ain't the first - I've been treated worse |
|
Guess I oughta be more careful choosing my friends |
|
Well, you can leave me cold - I'll recover |
|
Say nasty things about my mother |
|
Well, you can beat me, mistreat me |
|
But guess who'll be smilin' in the end? |
|
Playin' in bands since I was a kid |
|
Always part of the brotherhood |
|
But a lonely, only child |
|
Only barely understood |
|
I was told I'd never make it so many times before |
|
The best and the brightest had shown me the door |
|
But the more they tried to hold me back, the stronger I got |
|
They said my songs were too simple, my voice was too weak |
|
Said I was too young, too dumb, too much of a freak |
|
They thought they could write me off |
|
But there's somethin' they forgot |
|
'Cause you can knock me down, run me over |
|
Back up and run me down again |
|
You ain't the first - I've been treated worse |
|
Guess I oughta be more careful choosing my friends |
|
Well, you can leave me cold - I'll recover |
|
Say nasty things about my mother |
|
Well, you can beat me, mistreat me |
|
But guess who'll be smilin' in the end? |
|
I won't say I ain't had my share of good luck |
|
Good luck is fine, it just ain't enough |
|
'Cause you can knock me down, run me over |
|
Back up and run me down again |
|
You ain't the first - I've been treated worse |
|
Guess I oughta be more careful choosing my friends |
|
Well, you can leave me cold - I'll recover |
|
Say nasty things about my mother |
|
Well, you can beat me, mistreat me |
|
But guess who'll be smilin' in the end? |
