[Verse 1]
When I look back
I miss the hope I used to have
The sense of passion and the meaning
'Cause I am not the same
I'm the one that plays the part
Of a martyr with a broken heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Leaving me to be nothing
So bury me
I used to feel something inside of me
I used to feel something inside
[Chorus]
Now every time I pick myself up
I just fall down faster
So what's the use in trying
To be something I'm not
I've still got hope that I can
Fix this all with one disaster
I'll die alone
Ashamed without a note
[Verse 2]
So look at me
What exactly do you see
A man who isn't what he once was
I hate myself but I'm to blame
I fell in love with the state of shame
