lyrics

I'm a slave to the things I hate
I'm afraid of the pearly gates
To answer for my sins, and the things I knew were wrong
But I did 'em anyway, and I put 'em in my songs

I'm stranger than I've ever been before
Not certain who I feel like anymore
The doors ahead don't open, but the ones behind still close
Now I'm stuck inside this hallway and I don't know where it goes

And it's not that I wanna be someone else
I'm just tired of fighting with myself
The older that I get, the more I understand
I don't get to choose the deal, but I've gotta play the hand

I'm good at wasting time
And not making up my mind
The answers to my problems are the reasons why I'm scared
I don't know what I'm doing, and I'm painfully aware

I don't take many things too far
I'm afraid to show my scars
But tell me all your heartaches, love, and have another drink
If I don't tell you what I'm thinking, I'm afraid of what you'd think

And it's not that I wanna be someone else
I'm just tired of fighting with myself
The older that I get, the more I understand
I don't get to choose the deal, but I've gotta play the hand

And it's not that I wanna be someone else
I'm just tired of fighting with myself
The older that I get, the more I understand
I don't get to choose the deal, but I've gotta play the hand
I don't get to choose the deal, but I've gotta play the hand
No, I don't get to choose the deal, but I've gotta play the hand
