lyrics

If you knew just what to say
Would things end up the same way?
Now you’re chasing better days
It was all going your way

You’re sounding like a salesman to yourself
You’ve made it pretty far
Still got places to go
I’ll get rid of these aches I feel
These pains, I’ll appeal
Get all the pleasures of the flesh I could know

You’re feeling the same feelings that you had
The promises of wealth have never been met
You think of everything you want, but ignore all of the things you already have

You’re looking like a pale man in poor health
You look back to the start
Wish you could do it again
When there was little to your name
But it mattered all the same
When I could still call you my friend

You looking to the past most of the time
Staring in the mirror just makes you sad
Not sure of the path you took, but remember all the stupid things you said
-
[CHORUS]
You said I’m leaving
I’ve got my reasons
Left it all to burn when you found religion
Now you talk about the rise in debt
You used to care about the lives instead

You said you’re sorry
The same old story
The past was their mistake, you celebrated glory
Now there’s tired excuses in your head
Made you care a whole lot less
-
Made you care a whole lot less
Made you care a whole lot less
-
You said you feel the love inside you
But everyone is just judged by you
Now I can’t
Take care of myself

You said you feel the love inside you
But everyone is just judged by you
Because your kind
Always take care of your own

Always take care of your own
Always take care of your own
Now I can’t take care of myself
Take care of myself
Take care of myself
Because your kind
Always take care
