I push my luck,
Take life for granted.
Feel like I'm stuck,
In a land unenchanted.
Why do I do,
These crazy things?
They rip me through,
The pain they bring.
You stand tall,
Always by my side.
Despite it all,
No matter what I've tried.
Why do I do,
These crazy things?
They rip me through,
The pain they bring.
Dreams I've shattered,
Hearts I've broken.
Like they never mattered,
The promises spoken.
Why do I do,
These crazy things?
They rip me through,
The pain they bring.
I guess it's just,
The way I am.
Hard to trust,
It's where I stand.
These crazy things,
The pain they bring...
