Fool

These days I'm getting older
Before my time
To say I'm getting stronger
Would be a lie

I think you're trying to break me
Seems so unreal
Don't know how to take me
Don't know how I feel

Look around you
Do you see what I see?
Other people think you try to
Make a fool of me

It seems to take so long
'Til anything gets done
Why do I have to lose to get things?
I've never won

I'm defeated again
I see the look on your face
I've got that feeling again
My mouth has a bad taste

My hope in empty promise
Put me to shame
I know it's what you wanted
I need the pain

I was gonna be someone
You held me down
Didn't want me to move on
You let me drown
