The problems seem to build up every day
Sometimes I think they'll never go away
The solution is not one I can comprehend
To act happy now would be just pretend
If you tried to figure out just how I tick
You just might think I am a lunatic
It's how I get through my life everyday
Right now there doesn't seem to be
Any other way
There used to be a time when
All my goals were within reach
Call me old 'n jaded
Wouldn't blame you if you did
But sometimes things don't turn out
In the way you thought they would
A slow suicide's an answer
If you think there's no way out
I'd rather take my chances going
Through this thing called life
I wanna be someone I've never been
And to live my life in another's shoes
It might make me realize just what I have
Before I up and throw it all away
I say I don't care but I really do
Part of the lies I build up
Just to get me through
The lies like bricks in a wall that surround
I need someone to help me smash them down
There may never be a time when
I will find all that I seek
Call me old 'n jaded
Wouldn't blame you if you did
But sometimes things don't turn out
In the way you thought it would
A slow suicide's my answer
I don't think there's an out
I'm tired of taking chances going
Through this thing called life
