I had potential and I squandered it
(Or at least in your eyes)
I don't really want to fall back where I was
Getting fat, eating your white lies
And was it really so great?
All I recall are promises that ended up fake
And I can't help but think
Did I lose my free time or just my drive (or was it all a lie)
I wanna live on the bleeding edge
So I can get into your club
I'll do what it takes to keep it fresh
I'd sell my soul for a ticket stub
And you know I'd hold on
All this time, I've been running in place
And it's getting so old
I'd love to move on, but you're busy saving face
I've had more fun pulling teeth, and it's so much easier
I close my eyes and there's no one to please
I've had more fun pulling teeth than doing what I believe
But at this point I'm just in too deep
And I can never go back
I'll just convince myself what I have is all I could need
I got halfway there and found out I couldn't breathe
Well you really made a fool out of me
