It's only just the morning
But I wish this day were done
They tell me keep on fighting
But why's the stupid battle never won
I am just so tired of getting kicked around and never left alone
Trying to stay above the water
But I'm sinking fast
I don't mind never winning
But I hate always coming last
I am just so tired of giving all I got and not getting back
I am never gonna make something more of my life
I am never gonna come out on top if I try
I am never gonna be something else in your eyes
I am never gonna
You are never gonna
We are never gonna be
Trying to be patient
It's hard when there's no end in sight
I know it's a virtue
But I'll hurt you if you say it one more time
I am just so tired of waiting round for things that never turn out right
I am never gonna make something more of my life
I am never gonna come out on top if I try
I am never gonna be something else in your eyes
I am never gonna
You are never gonna
We are never gonna be
Be together, but I still am gonna try
It may never work out for you and I
But this hell I'm living
Is not much worse than knowing
That I just didn't have
The gumption or the guts to try
