lyrics

When is it my turn to win?
On the outside, looking in.
Is wanting to belong such a sin?
Where do I begin?

When everything is easy for you,
is there nothing I can do?

Walking barefoot over shards
of bitter half-made promises;
Mocking stares have me on guard.
Withered glances diminish chances.

How is this my fault again?
Why does the weight of blame descend
on my shoulders; struggling to bend,
causing our hearts to rend?
