Well I bet you thought you'd never
see my face around this place again,
and I've had some time to run over
every single word I've spoken.
Do I make your blood run cold,
the same way that you do to me?
What am I still fighting for?
it's time we had an evolution.
Instead of pointing fingers
at the ones who helped me all along,
I'll take a different approach;
I was the problem from the start.
I've blocked it out all I can,
I'm only human, after all.
I'd show you how I'm doing,
but I don't know who I am,
anymore.
I give up, I swear, you win.
You'll never have to put up with me again.
