I try to be the best I can even when I come up short sometimes
I try to be the best I am all the time
The intentions I live on are paved with gold that's as solid as your eye color
And I'm sorry that I disappointed you, I never meant to,
I never meant to betray your confidence, or tattle-tale like the child that slips away from us
Yeah, he departs once we all grow up,
Now we're all grown up and he's gone
Now look at me,
I'm finally taking responsibility for what I've done to ruin this
I'm abandoning this society of excuses that we're all taught to love
We learned to buy our vices, ignore advices, even throw away relationships like garbage
We learned to treat each with indignity and backhanded compliments
