It’s times like these I wonder, when did I lose my will?
As I stumble again, I finally look back, and realize your not there
Giving one final push, leaving me to steer for myself, right over the hill
Now the task ahead is too great, I know how I’ll fare
I can never be who you were.

I always looked up to you, you were everything I wanted to be
So when you gave me the chance, the chance to be you, oh how I’ve failed
You made me think I had strength, you made me think I was you, only now do I see
Now the truth comes crashing down, I’m out to sea without a sail
You let go too soon.

You took part of me with you, now I’ll sell our land for my soul.
And if destiny plays its hand, and none shall bid, then to the ground it will be burned
And my hate will be its arson, with rage I will be whole
And to those who hear, do you know how it is, when wakefulness must be earned?
I can never be who I was.
