When i was young, i was so full of fear
i hid behind anger, held back the tears
it was me against the world, i was sure that i'd win
the world fought back, punished me for my sins
i felt so alone, so insecure, i blamed you instead and made sure i was heard
and they tried to warn me of my evil ways
but i couldn't hear what they had to say
chorus:
i was wrong, self destruction's got me again
i was wrong, i realized now that i was wrong
and i think about my loves, well i've had a few
i'm sorry that i hurt them, did i hurt you too
i took what i wanted, put my heart on the shelf
how can ya love me when you don't love yourself
it was me against the world, i was sure that i'd win
the world fought back, punished me for my sins
and they tried to warn me of my evil ways
but i couldn't hear what they had to say
chorus:
i grew up fast, i grew up hard
something was wrong from the very start
i was fighting everybody, i was fighting everything
but the only one that i hurt was me
i got society's blood running down my face
somebody help me get outta this place
how could someone's bad luck last so long
until i realized that i was wrong
chorus: 2x
