Its never ending, its so degrading
I was so sure that I had it right this time

This cycle ends, I'm back in my basement
Strumming chords, in deep contemplation
Why I still feel the same way

So I'll sing the same sad song that you've heard too much of
With the same two chords that you'll never get tired of
This time, I'm not going to let my own self doubt get in the way
I'll give the people what they want, to hear and see

Its not a game, things can never be the same
Make a choice, cause its them or its me
Make a choice, and tell me how you wanted things to be
I'm back in this world where I don't belong
I'm back in this same place and singing the same old song
But I'll do it right this time

I miss your voice, call me when this blows over
This bleak october

I'll start again, and I will do what's right for me and not for you
I'll write a different story with a different ending, I'll think it through
And this time I'm not going to let my own self, get in the way
This isn't me, This can't be me
This isn't how I wanted life to be

So I'll sing the same sad song that you've heard too much of
With the same two chords that you'll never get tired of
This time, I'm not going to let my own self doubt get in the way
I'll give the people what they want, to hear and see
