shift

When I think I’ve done it right
Finally, finally done something right
Everything blows up in my face
And I realize
I realize
I’ve never had anything in my life

I sit and stare at the ashes in my hands
What could I have done different;y?
How could I have held on tighter to this
Dream that I thought was working out?

When I think I’ve done it right
Finally, finally done something right
Everything blows up in my face
And I realize
I realize
I’ve never had anything in my life

Tired of getting back up again, who isn’t?
Want something more secure, but don’t
Know how to pull myself up onto a platform
That leads anywhere but down, down, down

When I think I’ve done it right
Finally, finally done something right
Everything blows up in my face
And I realize
I realize
I’ve never had anything in my life

Why does nothing turn out right anymore?
Ha, as if anything has ever been good
I’ve forgotten what it feels like when
Something’s going well in my mess of a life

When I think I’ve done it right
Finally, finally done something right
Everything blows up in my face
And I realize
I realize
I’ve never had anything in my life

I know I can’t quit, but I don’t know how to move
Nothing ever works, so I have to change somehow
Have to hold my life in a kaleidoscope and twist
Around and around, until the picture shifts once again

When I think I’ve done it right
Finally, finally done something right
Everything blows up in my face
And I realize
I realize
I’ve never had anything in my life
