tries to save me from myself,
but still my self-consciousness rears its ugly head.
Looking at my own reflection
I reflect on what I could have done
So begins my daily fight
With the mirror of my life
[chorus]
I know you think I cannot win
But I have one more chance today
And I have one more thing to say
Yes, I have one more game to play
And when I've done, I will have won.
In my head I am heading for a nervous break down
I give my all, but still
I always seem to fall short of the prize.
I always try too hard
Hardly gaining even a yard
So continues the fight
Every day of this sad life
[chorus]
I'm in a daze as the days of my life fly by
Oh, I am in awe
at how awful things in my life have become
Never satisfied with my lot
A lot of time I haven't got
But I must win this fight
Before the end of my life
[chorus]
