It's Time To Change

It's a cold dull winter evening
Got my hands in my pockets
To stop them freezing
I'm sat in the city centre thinking
Is this all I'll ever be?

I hear a busker down the street
Skippin' a beat
There's a homeless guy sat near
Everyone's feet
I'm sat in a bar alone thinking
Is this all I'm meant to be?

It's okay to lose
It's okay to make mistakes
But you can't keep running a sinking ship
You gotta swim from the wreck you made

Or you'll go down with it

So what, fucked up, now what?
Take it on the chin, yeah
Take it like a grown-up
Fine in Year 11 but now's the time to own up
Or nothing's ever gonna change
You take every little thing so very far
But in seven years, you'll still play guitar
To the broken tune of the things that hurt you
But you can't say everyone deserts you
The only one who's abandoned you is you.

It's a quiet Sunday night
And I think that I just might
Wipe the slate clean
Start again
Make new friends
So what, things messed up?
The world ain't gonna end

Maybe I am just destined to be
A shady boy living on backstreets
But I think I'll be fine
Just give it time

So what, fucked up, now what?
Take it on the chin, yeah
Take it like a grown-up
Fine in Year 11 but now's the time to own up
Or nothing's ever gonna change
You take every little thing so very far
But in seven years, you'll still play guitar
To the broken tune of the things that hurt you
But you can't say everyone deserts you
The only one who's abandoned you is you.

No more playing the victim
No more feeling sorry for myself
It's your life, and if it's a wreck
The only one who can fix it is yourself

So I'm done with excuses
Done with explaining
Justifying abuses
And self-deprecating
If I'm gonna get better
It's my progress I'm making
Screw all the offsets
'Cause I'm not complaining
I'm sick of feeling pathetic and bland
I shouldn't need someone to hold my hand
If I go too far when it's me alone
Then at least I don't come back to a broken home
I've got nothing left to lose
I already lost you
I finally choose what I should really do
Walk away and build myself anew

So what, fucked up, now what?
Take it on the chin, yeah
Take it like a grown-up
Fine in Year 11 but now's the time to own up
Or nothing's ever gonna change
You take every little thing so very far
But in seven years, you'll still play guitar
To the broken tune of the things that hurt you
But you can't say everyone deserts you
The only one who's abandoned you is you.
And you're the only one who can change what you do.

If you can't take it back, that's fine
Happens to people all of the time, but

The only one who can fix anything is you
The only one who can fix all of this is you.
