Lyrics

It doesn’t matter now, it’s all gone away,
Everything I worked for, has all burnt like hay.
You do so much, to feel nothing in the end,
I’m left all alone, with a thousand scars to mend.

I used to be so fine, I used to be so fun,
I’d sit there to dine, and I’d talk to everyone.
Now I’m sitting there, in a lonely empty chair,
All I can do is stare, as I’m talking to the air.

I do things right, but I can’t sleep at night.
I do things right, but I can’t sleep at night. Yeah

I locked myself away, till I was nearly gone,
I’ve got to find my way, before something else is born.
I have a tough shell, I have a lot of pride,
But once you crack me open, you’ll find a helpless hurting child.

I do things right, but I can’t sleep at night.
I do things right, but I can’t sleep at night. Yeah

It doesn’t matter now, cos I can start anew,
Even if I’m beaten down, and there’s nothing I can do.
I will find a way, I won’t give in,
I will win the race, and find power from within.
