The Battle Within

[Intro] I could listen A little mo-o-o-o [Verse 1] Should have spent A little less time Trying to define Now I know Now I see Very clearly What it is Will always be There's no one else to blame It's only me [Instrumental] [Verse 2] I've made mistakes I try to own them all Will never ask for help Will never make that call [Verse 3] Always looking back Never letting go Now I'm switching tracks So that I can grow [Bridge 1] Took far too long to realize Not listening to my self-lies Anymoooo-o=o=o=o=o [Chorus 1] I always want to run away I feel that way Almost every day-e-ay-e-a-ay Say what I want Don't mean to flaunt It's just a jaunt For me to walk away-e-ay-ay [Guitar lead 1] [Verse 4] From this day Turn the next page At this stage Nothing works the same way Anymore [Bridge 2] I see who I am today Who I want to be is so far away From me [Interlude 1] I speak without thinking Sometimes I just don't hear I see the things I wanna see Watch them slowly disappear [Verse 5] I want to let it go Those wounds must heal so that I can grow I want to be much mo' It takes a lotta time Happens much too slow Fo-ohh Me [Guitar lead 2] [Interlude 2] My reflection in the pool I can see, that I was, just a fool Broken every rule Thought that I was so cool [Chorus 3] Nothing ever seems to stay Nothing's forever At the end of the day Take my own direction Hear my own perception But when you hear me speak You know there's no deception [Outro] The blame is all mine I never take the time If I ever stayed in line I might not feel defeated It's up to me to try again Only I know where I've been Maybe one of these times I'll win This battle within
