I may look like I have nothing
But I've got the whole world to give
All my life
I'm always being compared to all those around me
I just needed to escape
To get outside these four walls of comfort
I just needed to get outside
I was sick of the calm
So I headed for the fucking storm
I was sick of the calm, so I headed for the storm
I faked my way through life
I was so young
My story was just beginning
My story was just beginning
I traded the suits and ties
For a life of sex drugs and violence
And all of this was worth every fucking cent
I'll never falter
I'll still stand up
I'll scream out loud
And I won't falter
I'll still stand up
And I will scream
"This is my life
And I'm exactly
Who I wanted to be"
Dear love
And what have we built
To watch it all come crumbling down
I'm so sorry, but I'm never coming back to you
Dear love,
I'm sorry all that we built came crumbling down
Dear love,
When you look in my eyes
I'm sorry I failed you
But after twenty-three years
I'm not bitter
I just needed to escape from my mother's room
I needed to go outside
I've breached the borders
I've eclipsed the horizon
I've torn down all I believed in before
My voice won't go out
I'll be singing in your fucking ears for years to come
Before my body wastes away
