I was born in that summer when the sun didn't shine I was given a name that doesn't feel like it's mine Lived my life as the good boy I was told I should be Prayed every night to a religion that was chosen for me Sold my soul, broke my bones, tell me what did I get? Did my time, told the lie, I ain't seen anything yet Strike me down to the ground, you know I've seen it before Make it hurt, I'll eat the dirt, I just don't care anymore How could you break my heart? Already played my part I kept my promise, man Show me the promise, lad Don't knock it by my throne Give me the crown I owe If life can show me how Look at me now I've got no money in my pocket And the whole world's bringing me down And the whole world's bringing me down One person's lie is just another man's truth We kept on running from the devil but the devil was you Every time I see the light I'm falling deeper in debt If I've never seen the good how can it come to an end? Sold my soul, broke my bones, tell me what did I get? Did my time, told the lie, I ain't seen anything yet Strike me down to the ground, you know I've seen it before Make it hurt, I'll eat the dirt, I just don't care anymore How could you break my heart? Already played my part I kept my promise, man Show me the promise, lad Don't knock it by my throne Give me the crown I owe If life can show me how Look at me now I've got no money in my pocket And the whole world's bringing me down And the whole world's bringing me down And the whole world's bringing me down How could you break my heart? Already played my part I kept my promise, man Show me the promise, lad Don't knock it by my throne Give me the crown I owe If life can show me how Look at me now
