lyrics

It brought me down
Crashing to the ground
I must have made a sound
But nothing came out

A crowd stood and stared
Waited with baited breath
And I, I just sat there
Waiting for someone to care

I can’t beat; I can’t beat
I can’t beat; I can’t beat you
I wish, I wish
I wish that I could

You took what was yours
Took everything I could afford
Feathering your cause
With accolades and awards

And I got off lightly
Bruised and so unwisely
A fool who took it kindly
And now you walk right past me

I can’t beat; I can’t beat
I can’t beat; I can’t beat you
I wish, I wish
I wish that I could

There once was a dream, a home and you and me
I thought we’d might win, I thought it was everything
The naivety, the jealousy, the betrayal and depravity
The carnage and the gravity what will become of me?

I can’t beat; I can’t beat
I can’t beat; I can’t beat you
I wish, I wish
I wish that I could
