Lyrics:
What if I don't do the things I need?
What if I don't know who I can believe?
What if I become all the horrible things I said that I would never be?
Waste my life and then never see
Take and take and I never give
Oh, please help me
Oh, please help me
I needed a place to rest my head
Needed a place to make my bed
Wanted something better than this
Needed a place to rest my head
All the things I'll never be (I'll never be)
Waste my life and never see (I never see)
Take and take, I never give (I never give)
All the things I'll never be
What if I don't feel like I belong?
What happens to my head if I go beyond?
What if I become all the horrible things I swore that I would never be?
Waste my life, I'm never free
Take and take till I'm empty
Oh, please help me
Oh, please help me
I needed a place to rest my head
Needed a place to make my bed
Wanted something better than this
Needed a place to rest my head
All the things I'll never be (I'll never be)
Waste my life and never see (I never see)
Take and take, I never give (I never give)
All the things I'll never be
Who am I to disagree?
Who am I to fall apart?
I lived my life the best I could
Lived my life the best I could
I needed a place to rest my head
Needed a place to make my bed
Wanted something better than this
Needed a place to rest my head
All the things I'll never be (I'll never be)
Waste my life and never see (I never see)
Take and take, I never give (I never give)
All the things I'll never be
