Broken Man

I wanna scream until no sound comes out and you learn your lesson.
I wanna swallow these pills to get to sleep,
so i don't have to make a bad impression.

I need to start to be myself,
'cause I'm sick of everybody else.

I won't let your bring me down
It's here and now.
I'm breaking out.
I will learn to love again.
But I will stand a broken man.

I wanna run but only far enough to make you miss me.
I wanna take back all the shit that I have done
but I guess you are better off without me.

I took one big step and I looked away.
And then I thought of all the things I wanted to say.
I'm always too late.
You never got your story straight.
I'm always up late.
I think I'm everything you hate.
