lyrics

Ah Yes, you’ve let me down again.
What made me think that you’d ever really change?
In a rut, your life sucks, shit it’s always the same
You have no one but yourself to blame

You used to be fun. You used to be a riot. You used to be the one I looked up to.
But now you drown in your pool of self-pity; a do-nothing whiner, whose only problem is you.
Watching your life rot is too painful to watch, so I’m walking away now
I desperately tried, but leaving you and your misery behind.

How do you survive feasting on your sorrow?
Searching the bottom of a bottle for answers you already know.
Dreaming the same dreams (that’ll never come true), promising empty promises (is all you can do).
Regurgitating out the same excuses, pathetic and useless, I’m done with you.

Yeah you’ve let me down again.
You’re addiction won’t ease your selfish pain.
In a rut, your life sucks, oh yeah… nothing’s changed
Your sense of purpose now drowned in vain.

Living life in the hole you dug all on your own;
A shallow grave that your hollow soul crawls into.
It’s just as well, live in hell. There’s nothing more I can do.
I’m done wasting my time on you.

You’ll never change - a loser then, a loser still.
You’ve lost your drive, I’ve lost the will to put up with you.
Always solving your mindless little problems, but
You turned your back on me when I needed someone to go to.
Screw me once - shame on you. It hurt, but thought I’d give you
The benefit of the doubt, but now I see
You’ve screwed me over time and again.
I’m feeling like a fool. The shame’s is all on me.

Have you noticed your friends sliding away?
One by one they remove themselves from your self-destroying domain, because
One by one you’ve let them down again, and again, and again, and again.

You ask how, but will never
Turn your life around. You prefer to waste away and grieve.
All you desire will never transpire,
A catatonic waste of life is all you’ll be.

I’ve Spoon fed solutions to your menial delusions.
Your doom is just illusion, you’re apathy is a crime.
I’m moving on, getting out, getting on with my life,
Letting go, of those sucking away my time.
