Intro:
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh-oh
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Verse 1:
Once I had the world beneath my feet, yeah
Dreams were high, the sky within my reach
But then the nights got darker, pills and bottles by my side
Couldn't see the warning, lost the light deep inside
Pre-Chorus:
Tell me, where did I go wrong?
Caught up in the high too long
Now I'm just a shadow of the man I used to be
Chorus:
Oh, what's the use of trying again?
When doubt's a beast that lives within
My talents buried under sin
How do I rise above this endless spin?
Verse 2:
I was a king without a crown, made my kingdom fall
My reflection’s haunting, can’t recognize me at all
Every note I used to play now feels so out of tune
Is it too late to change my fate, or am I forever doomed?
Pre-Chorus:
Tell me, where did I go wrong?
Caught up in the high too long
Now I'm just a shadow of the man I used to be
Chorus:
Oh, what's the use of trying again?
When doubt's a beast that lives within
My talents buried under sin
How do I rise above this endless spin?
Bridge:
In my heart, I feel a spark
A glimmer in the dark
I could reclaim what’s mine
If only I could find the time
Outro:
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh-oh
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell me, where did I go wrong?
Caught up in the high too long
Now I'm just a shadow of the man I used to be
Trying to climb up from beneath
(End with instrumental fade-out)
