When I was young I was so full of fear
I hid behind anger and held back the tears
It was me against the world I was sure that I'd win
But the world fought back punished me for my sins
I felt so alone so insecure
I blamed you instead and made sure I was heard
And they tried to warn me of my evil ways
But I couldn't hear what they had to say

I was wrong, self-destruction got me again
I was wrong, I realize now that I was wrong

And I think about my loves well I've had a few,
I'm sorry that I hurt them did I hurt you too?
I took what I wanted put my heart on the shelf
How can you love when you don't love yourself?
It was me against the world I was sure that I'd win
But the world fought back punished me for my sins
And they tried to warn me of my evil ways
But I couldn't hear what they had to say

Well I grew up fast, I grew up hard
Something was wrong from the very start
I was fighting everybody, I was fighting everything
But the only one that I hurt was me
I got society's blood running down my face
Somebody help me get out of this place
How could someone's bad luck last so long
Until I realized that I was wrong.
