I'm standing here alone Cold hands, tired bones And I've walked these city streets Since I could barely speak Everybody here knows my name And they say I'll never change But I'm not one for regret And my life's not over yet I lost track of time I'm light years away from where I want to be And all that I've got Is one beating heart but that's enough for me I'm not begging for help I just wish you could hear the words I want to say But you don't know who I am All you see is a man and his mistakes I'm standing in a crowd Watching you take a bow And it's a little hard to breathe 'Cause I know it could have been me Everybody here knows my name But they say it's such a shame That I tried to run but fell And blamed everyone but myself I lost track of time I'm light years away from where I want to be And all that I've got Is one beating heart but that's enough for me I'm not begging for help I just wish you could hear the words I want to say But you don't know who I am All you see is a man and his mistakes I made a promise I can't keep I climbed so high and fell so deep You tried to warn me of this place But it was too late, I disappeared without a trace I lost track of time I'm light years away from where I want to be And all that I've got Is one beating heart but that's all I need I'm not begging for help I just wish you could hear the words I want to say But you don't know who I am All you see is a man and his mistakes

I feel hollow, I feel weak And I've forgotten how to lie through my teeth I breathe heavy, I breathe deep But it doesn't stop my heart from racing And it doesn't help me get to sleep I'm not unbreakable and never was But I'm digging deep and I'm pulling through I spent so many endless nights Talking to myself when I could have been talking with you I'm a monster, so you say But you don't know me, you only see who I portray I'm still searching for a place to hide But I can't seem to stop competing Even though I've been disqualified I'm not unbreakable and never was But I'm digging deep and I'm pulling through I spent so many endless nights Talking to myself when I could have been talking with you I'm not unbreakable and never was But my redemption is overdue I spent so many endless nights Talking to myself when I could have been talking with
