I stand in front of you quiet and shy

Guess that's just me no use to deny

This way of life its all Ive known

No guide to follow Im on my own

Wasted my teens on nothing much

My twenties slipped with a careless touch

Packed regrets in a box locked it tight

Trying to rise from a pointless fight

An empty pride hollow to the core

A useless ego I cant ignore

In front of you a shadow grows

A looming dark where nothing shows

If I could love these useless nights

Id wake up clear rewrite my life

Not trying to be someones goal

No need for praise to make me whole

Cant change much but still I try

Let things unfold no need to lie

Sweet temptations pull me astray

Tomorrows meaning fades away

Even this lazy pace I keep

Sometimes I find a joy thats deep

Skip the stories of a boring past

Fighting my cat a feud that lasts

Oh so Its fine my go-to phrase

Laugh it off another day fades

Ten years ahead Ill forget the scene

Tired of promises that feel routine

In front of you a shadow grows

A looming dark where nothing shows

If I could love these useless nights

Id wake up clear rewrite my life

Not trying to be someones goal

No need for praise to make me whole

Cant change much but still I try

Let things unfold no need to lie

In your eyes I see the strain

A future painted with endless rain

But who am I to lead the way

Im just as lost Id go astray

Still I hold to a fragile thread

Hoping for more than the fear Ive fed

In front of you a shadow grows

A looming dark where nothing shows

If I could love these useless nights

Id wake up clear rewrite my life

Not trying to be someones goal

No need for praise to make me whole

Cant change much but still I try

Let things unfold no need to lie

The world ahead feels out of reach

But maybe life has more to teach

Ill stumble through Ill find my way

A little stronger every day
