Verse 1:
Lost in a state of confusion
wondering what went wrong
being pressed down under all this tension
but trying to stay strong
everyone tried to tell me things
that i could never believe, slamming me into a wall
holding me back, from giving it my all

Chorus:
For once in my life, I don't wanna be criticized
for once in my life, I wanna do what's right
so just open your eyes
and maybe you'll see the same things that i do
for once in your life

Verse 2:
walking down this road
trying to find the right path
but being forced by pressure
holding me, holding me back
everyone tried to show me things
that I could never see, blinding me from reality
darkening my life, from all that, from all that i believe


Chorus:
For once in my life, I don't wanna be criticized
for once in my life, I wanna do what's right
so just open your eyes
and maybe you'll see the same things that i do
for once in your life

(guitar solo)

Interlude:
Lost in a state of confusion
wondering what went wrong
walking down my own road
just trying to stay strong!

Chorus:
For once in my life, I don't wanna be criticized
for once in my life, I wanna do what's right
so just open your eyes
and maybe you'll see the same things that I do
for once in your life

Ending:
For once in my life, I don't wanna be criticized
for once in my life, I wanna do what's right
so just open your eyes
and maybe you'll see the same things that I do
for once in your life

Verse 1:
Look at you, Look at me
both of our lives have been set free
now on this road to a new beginning
I never thought I'd miss the way we use to be
closing my eyes, I'm going crazy
I can't seem to forget all of our memories
when they endlessly haunt me

Chorus:
How could something that's for the best
make me feel the very worse
I know the past is behind me now
but why do I still feel the burn
It's like I've been cut from the inside
and I'm bleeding out the fire from all my lies

Verse 2:
Everyday gets colder, harder to breathe
I should've known it would also hurt me
like being shot at point blank by a hateful disease
after finding out I've been my own worst enemy

Chorus:
How could something that's for the best
make me feel the very worse
I know the past is behind me now
but why do I still feel the burn
It's like I've been cut from the inside
and I'm bleeding out the fire from all my lies

Bridge:
God forgive me, save me from myself
God forgive me, Save me from myself!

(Guitar solo)

Bridge:
How could something that's for the best
make me feel the very worst

Chorus:
How could something that's for the best
make me feel the very worse
I know the past is behind me now
but why do I still feel the burn
It's like I've been cut from the inside
and I'm bleeding out the fire from all my lies

Outro:
How could something that's for the best
make me feel the very worst
I sold myself, and paid the price
now I'm left with nothing to show
but bleeding out my words
