Would you hate me
If I plowed into the nearest tree
Even though we've been gunning it
Going eighty on this same dead-end street
For quite a while now
Don't you ever get tired of running red lights
And getting pulled over, over and over again

Here I thought I was strong
Here I thought I could handle
All the shit tossed my way
But instead I wasted all my ammo
Chasing dreams that I'll never wake from
Running from a reality
That won't leave me in peace, just pieces
Here I thought I had a man's pull
Here I thought wrong
Guess you were right all along

A spinning ball on a rusted axis
Bound to break any moment now
We're just counting down the seconds
This world ain't for everyone
No, it sure is hell wasn't made for me
You said I've made my bed
Now it's time to go to sleep

Here I thought I was strong
Here I thought I could handle
All the shit tossed my way
But instead I wasted all my ammo
Chasing dreams that I'll never wake from
Running from a reality
That won't leave me in peace, just pieces
Here I thought I had a man's pull
Here I thought wrong
Guess you were right all along

No, I never was afraid of the dark
So what's a little shade
Would you please and kindly shut the fuck up
I don't need you to tell me when I'm okay
Yeah, I'm breaking free from your leash
Sorry babe, from this moment on
You'll no longer have a pull on me
It's 'bout time I learned to stand
Stand on my own two feet

Now I know I can handle
All the shit tossed my way
Oh, I'll save up my ammo
Fuck these dreams, I'll make 'em reality
And no I won't let anyone tell me otherwise
What to make of my own goddamn life
And if you get in my way
You bet I won't hesitate to pull this trigger
'Cause thanks to you
Yeah, I'm stronger than ever
