Lyrics
I want it so badly I can taste it
So badly that I?m not myself
With devils always looking over
my shoulder I can?t express myself
The night becomes a terror with things lurking in the dark
And staring in the mirror I see eyes without a spark
I just wanted to change your life
I just wanted to make up your mind
I just wanted to hear you say
That things won?t ever be the same
It?s darker, I see it and I hate it
I see it and I know what?s wrong
A marker, a sign I haven?t made it
Reminder that the road is long
I?ve taken all the punches that I possibly can stand
I try to make a fist but end up holding out my hand
I just wanted to change...
Picking up the pieces I am careful how I touch
Searching for the reasons why my best is not good enough
I just wanted to change...
