Here I Stand

Here I stand honestly
With my head in my hands
And my heart on my sleeve
Redemption never did me any good
Kept my voice held low like every good kid should

But I'm still here.
As a constant reminder
Of the things you once longed to be

I know you so well
you'll never change
(still) Using people for your own gain
I don't hate you
but I've got nothing to prove
All I have is a lack of respect for you

You are your problem
You just cant see
Always blaming others
Only you can set you free.

Close you eyes
But it wont go away.
Realisation is your only chance
To see you've got to change
Playing games
Is not for me
You are everything you said you wouldn't be.
