We talk about the world like it owes us everything And power is the money that we can't seem to gain It's 4 in the morning, I will close my eyes And dream about a life that is perfect for myself An average apartment with a trophy on the shelf Saying: "This man made it, this man survived" Call it hopeless Say what you want to I don't need to stray from truth 'Cause my mind has changed after all this disaster Money and fame would leave me in the same place Once we are struck to the heart Never after will we be the same again But we'll try harder You hit me in the gut, then you tell me to breathe You ask me what happened to my personality I'm going through some shit that I'd rather not tell I can't say in person, so I say it in the songs I've used up my lifelines that carried me along I'm yawning in the mic and crying like a teen Call it selfish Say what you have to I don't need to stray from truth 'Cause my mind has changed after all this disaster Money and fame would leave me in the same place Once we are struck to the heart Never after will we be the same again But we'll try harder I keep on walking away Short of breathe A little more of this temptation rests I'm trying hard to be a better man Let's have a talk about life, where we're at It won't turn out how we wanted We've taken love for granted 'Cause my mind has changed after all this disaster Money and fame would leave me in the same place Once we are struck to the heart Never after will we be the same again
