I used to think I was a nice guy But I don't know It doesn't seem to matter how hard I try It doesn't show Everybody says that I love them the wrong way Everybody listen to what I have to say
I've been taking hits ever since I was a kid And I'm never gonna quit I have learned to live with it I've got my regrets that I wish I could forget And I'll never understand why all the good things end
I've lived like a bum inside of a van Trying as hard as I fucking can Sacrificed everything for the mic and lights And I still have empty hands Can't see a dentist, can't see my friends Can't afford a cell phone, can't pay rent I'm a struggling musician in a bad position Do you think you can understand
I've been taking hits ever since I was a kid And I'm never gonna quit I have learned to live with it I've got my regrets that I wish I could forget And I'll never understand why all the good things end Will I ever understand why it's all gotta end
If living well is the best revenge Then I'm glad to say that I'm doing well I've called some people my friends And just found out that they've been running their mouths And it's stopping now They've talked about me for years And still they've always appeared that they were being sincere If I ever get to see the life of my dreams I'll be clear and free of this black cloud over me And this two faced absentee I don't give a shit If you knew me, just forget Don't pretend to be my friend Cause that's the way it is
I've been taking hits ever since I was a kid And I'm never gonna quit I have learned to live with it I've got my regrets that I wish I could forget And I'll never understand why all the good things Will I ever understand why it's all gotta end
