It's been too many years
Since I never said my say
Too many years since
Life went my way
As another sun sets on yet
Another useless day
I shed just one more tear
As I search for a way
A way to stop wishing
A way to stop regretting
To somehow start living
And to overcome my old ways
I think happiness lies in satisfaction
And happy I can never be
Because I cannot bring myself to risk
To risk the image of me
They see the contender, the worker, the fighter
I know the pretender, the faker, the regretter
As another sun rises on another promising day
I dress myself with reputation
To cover up my pain
