Poor Example Songtext
von pendown

Always thought I′d figure this out
Given all the time I need
Now I'm running out of days
And lack a reason to believe
Somehow made it to this place
I swore I′d never get to be
Just another poor example
For a life lived desperately

I've been caught in a crossfire
Evidence for treason to be seen
I've settled for the long night
Where nothing ever is quite as it seems
I′ve been fighting for the wrong kind of martyr
I′ve taken this just way too far
I'm sorry for taking a long while
I hope I can make it up to you


Always thought I′d figure this out
Given all the time I need
Now I'm running out of days
And lack a reason to believe
Somehow made it to this place
I swore I′d never get to be
Just another poor example
For a life lived desperately

When did I lose my sense of wonder?
My mind could move mountains
Now I'm pushing boulders
How to get from one place to another?
A thought and a half away from going under
I don′t wanna teach what you've taught me
Hand-me-down tools for delving too deep
If I can help it I don't wanna be you
Believe me, believe me

Always thought I′d figure this out
Given all the time I need
Now I′m running out of days
And lack a reason to believe
Somehow made it to this place
I swore I'd never get to be
Just another poor example
For a life lived desperately


(I) didn′t mean to let you down
(I) really tried to make you proud
I just wanted you to know
I need you to let me go
(I) didn't wanna let you down
Still I try to make you proud
I just wanted you to know
That I have to let you go

Always thought I′d figure this out
Given all the time I need
Now I'm running out of days
And lack a reason to believe
Somehow made it to this place
I swore I′d never get to be
Just another poor example
For a life lived desperately

(I) didn't mean to let you down
(I) really tried to make you proud
I just wanted you to know
That I have to let you go
