Lyrics

I've been thinking of the things you said to me And I don't know if I can be what you wanted me to be I'm sorry if I failed, I'm sorry that I tried It's a wound but now it's cut and dried And I don't know what it's gonna be All the illusions and dishonesty A broken record -- the same old song Everything is going wrong We only have the time to make so many mistakes One try to keep it real -- better than a hundred that are fake A candle in the wind gets snuffed before it glows I'm the candle, you're the wind -- so go ahead and blow And I don't know what it's gonna be Every wrong answer all I ever see A broken record -- the same old song Everything is going wrong And I don't know what it's gonna be Drowning in a sea of dishonesty This is your story -- this is your song "Come as you are" but come along Totalitarian mentality I tried it on but that's not me Expectations -- I failed to measure up Here's the poison -- would you like a cup? Your perfect world was going strong Your perfect world is going wrong
