lyrics

A controversy brought from mall conversations
But you'll just blame it all on self-medication
A mind that's driven but a body will give up
A sinking feeling that would bury anyone

And where did you go?
The life we never had
I'll miss you when I'm homesick
The thought'll never pass
Stay awake through sunrise
As these dreams pass me by
Summer days of weakness
They're lost before your eyes

Was it worth the fight?
Did you get what you wanted?
Did you swallow your pride,
And admit that you were wrong?

Short temper
Has never gone too far
Takes a bigger man
And I'll struggle to be that

And where did you go?
The life we never had
I'll miss you when I'm homesick
The thought'll never pass
Stay awake through sunrise
As these dreams pass me by
Summer days of weakness
They're lost before your eyes

Short temper
Has never gone too far
Takes a bigger man
And I'll struggle to be that
