Seems like the little things are slowly bringing you down Pushing past your limits, I can see you reaching meltdown How'd you flip into a habit of aching for anybody's praise? Why'd you want to take it on and hear what a stranger has to say?
Put them back in the backseat Your dues have long been paid Too many times, too many times, too many times
Seems to me you pushed through and forgot the fact to feed your soul That you can't hear the words you said to me so many times before That you pulled me out of black holes, help me level & carry-on on my own Hadn't thought it true of you, do as I say not as I have done
Put them back in the backseat Your dues have long been paid Too many times, too many times, too many times
Did you take it on the chin? Did you bite your tongue hard? Did you hold back when you were meant to dive in? Did you think it a waste of time? Lie and say it's all just fine Did you keep it to yourself & turn a blind eye to help?
Tell me when you lost your heart Gave up said it's too hard Lost your place & get replaced Were you shunted back in line? When'd you lose your trust in us? In the people that do love You just the way you are Now rise up boy you fell too far
