Hitting a brick wall

[Instrumental] [Verse 1] All through my life I got good at many things but it didn't seem to matter it's hard how the truth really rings Even though I did try I don't know why they never seemed to go anywhere and life never really seemed to be fair [Chorus] Something was stopping me, something in my way, another barrier to go through but the charge never reflected the pay I just ended up in a dead end, no side roads or short cuts to call so I ended up just hitting a brick wall [Verse 2] Maybe I should have forced it open, used a hammer to hit through but it just seemed to be made with the most powerful glue I couldn't find a way around or over I was too small and what if the on the other side I would just take a fall [Chorus] Something was stopping me, something in my way, another barrier to go through but the charge never reflected the pay I just ended up in a dead end, no side roads or short cuts to call so I ended up just hitting a brick wall [Verse 3] Maybe I should have tried harder and stuck with just one thing but I just got curious and wanted to try everything But nothing really propelled me, but I did try and try again, how many times do you have to try is it more than ten [Chorus] Something was stopping me, something in my way, another barrier to go through but the charge never reflected the pay I just ended up in a dead end, no side roads or short cuts to call so I ended up just hitting a brick wall [Verse 4] Maybe the wall was really built by me, stopping myself from progressing and my mind really wasn't processing And I had the tools to really break through and maybe I always had the answers and really knew what to do [Chorus] Something was stopping me, something in my way, another barrier to go through but the charge never reflected the pay I just ended up in a dead end, no side roads or short cuts to call so I ended up just hitting a brick wall [Chorus] Something was stopping me, something in my way, another barrier to go through but the charge never reflected the pay I just ended up in a dead end, no side roads or short cuts to call so I ended up just hitting a brick wall [Chorus] Something was stopping me, something in my way, another barrier to go through but the charge never reflected the pay I just ended up in a dead end, no side roads or short cuts to call so I ended up just hitting a brick wall [Outro] [Chorus] Something was stopping me, something in my way, another barrier to go through but the charge never reflected the pay I just ended up in a dead end, no side roads or short cuts to call so I ended up just hitting a brick wall [Verse 5] So how do I breakthrough, how do I really succeed. Maybe it's something or someone I really need Maybe if I just keep banging maybe it will finally fall and maybe it isn't really that big or tall [Chorus] Something was stopping me, something in my way, another barrier to go through but the charge never reflected the pay I just ended up in a dead end, no side roads or short cuts to call so I ended up just hitting a brick wall [Chorus] Something was stopping me, something in my way, another barrier to go through but the charge never reflected the pay I just ended up in a dead end, no side roads or short cuts to call so I ended up just hitting a brick wall [Outro
