In Vain

Now before I say these words
I notice every shame
But unfortunately that's
Well, that's just me
You see, I haven't had an original thought in so damn long
I even took these words from someone else's song

They say that times, they are a-changing
But I remain the same
Just a figure in the distance
Another night with your name

These words are all I have to set me apart
And they still don't sound like they're from the heart
Nothing I do is heartfelt
The dead lives at my window ledge
Reminds me of the sun
We're both starving for light, we're both starving for love

I guess I'll never be the man that I aspire to be
And if I was in your shoes I'd be a better me
I'd be a better me
I guess this will always be a dream

They say that times, they are a-changing
But I remain the same
Just a figure in the distance
Another night with your name

"I can't describe the feeling of putting all your hope into one single thing and be constantly shot down being told that you're not good enough and your lifes work will be wasted and you'll never amount to anything."

So that's how you'll all remember me, remember me
As just a cheap imitation of the man I tried so hard to be

If all of my time has been wasted
At least in the end I can say I tried
