[Verse 1]
‘Cause I’m not the person I used to be and I’m speaking straight through me
Weaknesses are others faults but do you have to put me down?
Maybe I’m lacking your wit but trust me I see straight through it

Did you ever wonder it’s maybe you instead?

You should be the wind in my sails

Not the hole in my faith[?]
In the words of my new friends
At least I’m fucking trying
