Every day it seems I lost myself But I have tried to calm my strides And just today it seems that I'm a fool Cuz I have tried to compromise Myself to them Like they care at all When I change myself They will watch me fall I'm finding love's a reason to complain And you say I'm still young But how it hurts you when you're young I'm just looking for a greener place And you say it's been done But I don't care if it's been done ♪ So don't claim you're unable to convince yourself To a kid who convinced himself he was straight From birth 'til twelve or thirteen, it was working 'Til the world seemed it was out to hurt me Trust me don't you blame yourself From a man who once blamed himself for the faults of Those who tried to trick me, it convinced me I was slipping, I just needed fixing Now I know They weren't friends at all When I change myself I will watch them fall I'm finding love's a reason to complain And you say I'm still young But how it hurts you when you're young I'm just looking for a greener place And you say it's been done But I don't care if it's been done
