Tom San Filippo

I feel as though the weight of the world
Is crashing down on me
But before I let the truth be known
There's something that you should see

All the need turns into greed
And all the trust goes away

When will I learn
That I've lost my turn
To justify what's become of me

Too often I have lived a lie
So sure that you'd believe
And I can't explain the reasons why
I feel the need to deceive

All that's shown is all I own
And all the rest thrown away

When will I learn
That I've lost my turn
To justify what's become of me


All that I can do
is beg you for forgiveness
I know you didn't need this
In such hard times as these

If you only knew
What the pain feels like inside
Just then maybe you'd confide
In the better half of me


Now I'm hung out and left to dry
Or maybe left for dead
There's not a tear left for me to cry
So I might as well laugh instead

All that I've done is learned to run
I just can't face another day

When will I learn
That I've lost my turn
To justify what's become of me
