You know meI used to get caught up in everyday lifeTrying to make it through my day so I could sleep at nightTried to figure out my way through the maze of rights and wrongsBut like you used to sayNothing feels like it's really worth itForget perfect, I'm trying not to be worthlessSince I last saw you I've been looking for a purposeWell, I met this kid who thought like I didHe had a weird way of looking at itThis is what he saidSlip out the back before they know you were thereAnd at the worst you'll see nobody caresCause you don't wanna be around when it all goes downEven heroes know when to be scaredNow, I don't remember where I met him Or remember his nameBut he walked funny like he was just too big for his frameJust over five foot but he weighed a buck fiftyAnd what he said seemed so right it stuck with meListen, it's like poker, you can play your bestBut you gotta know when to fold your cards and take a restAnd know when to hold your cards, hold your breathAnd hope that nobody else is stacking the deckSongtexteBecause I don't need to tell you that life isn't fairIt doesn't care, it arbitrarily cuts off your air And like you, I want someone to say it's okayIn the truest part of our hearts everybody's afraidWe're just under-appreciated and overwhelmedFighting so hard to hide our fear that we're scaring ourselvesYou understand what I'm saying, cause you always didBut it's different in the words of a cowardly kid who saidAnd I'm no heroYou remember how it was, you knowAll I ever did was worry, feeling out of controlTo the point where everything was going end over endI'm spinning around in circles againThis is where you come inAll of this to explain to you why I had to Separate myself away from yesterday's lifePlease remember, this isn't how I hoped it would beBut I had to protect you from meThat's why ISlipped out the back before you knew I was thereI know you felt unpreparedBut every single time I was around I'd just bring you downAnd I could tell that it was time to be scaredThat's why I Slipped out the back before you knew I was thereAnd I know the way I left wasn't fairI didn't wanna be around just to bring you downI'm not a hero but don't think I didn't care Aus Songtexte Mania
