There was a time when I believed in myself But those days are over, I'm overwhelmed No reason to fight for a world that couldn't care less If I'm alive or if I'm dead I'm a lighthouse in the ocean With all the bulbs burnt out I'm an Amaryllis wilting In the middle of a drought I'm a statue in a mausoleum Name engraved in silt I'm a hopeless romantic That's the way that I was built Remember all the times we shared Well I hope that it was worth it Every pleasure, every pain If there's a God out there somewhere Well I hope He can restore me To the man I was before I lost my way I'm a flame that's all but faded Feels like the walls are caving in I was jaded and pissed Overworked so I quit I couldn't atone for all my sins Now there's a lighthouse built before me Showing me everything I wanna believe But I'm a criminal Too stressed, I feel subliminal Just tryna make it through the goddamn day I pray you found a way back to solid ground Remember all the times we shared Well I hope that it was worth it Every pleasure, every pain If there's a God out there somewhere Well I hope He can restore me To the man I was before I lost my way I'll get this off of my chest I've been waiting for a sign 'Cause I'm giving up, giving up slowly I ain't got no peace of mind You're on the outside And I'm looking in When you're giving up, giving up slowly There's no way to win There was a time when I believed that the world Was ready to be saved, well I was wrong If you read this a thousand years from now This song is a gift to the misled
