MASTER RECORDING LYRICS

FONT:
Been dealt losses and pains In a world that turned its back on me Shut out everything I need Promise us fucking lies Ask myself who I am I don’t even understand Won’t be the victim, won’t play the fool That’s not for me Can’t live my life that way Always the hard way Can’t strip my mind, my spirit won’t break That’s not for me Not for me Shot of reality In life, I’ve made mistakes I’ll pay for them in time Constant cycles, lows and highs I’ve lost what meant most to me Never really looked inside Too afraid of what I’ll find Won’t be the victim, won’t play the fool That’s not for me Can’t live my life that way Always the hard way Can’t strip my mind, my spirit won’t break That’s not for me Not for me Shot of reality Just looking for the pieces, a way to hold on I’m starting to believe I don’t need anyone I’ve been running for so long Back to the bottle Where do I belong? You think you know and got it figured out A slap to your face, shot of reality Reality A shot of reality Life’s not fair No one’s gonna help you through Your friends are all fake No one gives a fuck about you Life’s not fair No one’s gonna help you through Your friends are all fake No one gives a fuck about you Life’s not fair No one’s gonna help you through Your friends are all fake No one gives a fuck about you Life’s not fair No one’s gonna help you through Your friends are all fake No one gives a fuck about you
