Angel of mercy come down on me, I try so hard but I just cant see, I got
fooled once and went back for more, I crawled in the window then I
couldn’t find the door, I cheated for fortune I’ve killed for fame, but if you
live by their rules you die by their game, I couldn’t change the world so I
try to fit the mold, I swear at first everything I touched turned to gold.
I told you I thought I was ruining my life, you said ah it’s just a phase, I
need someone to save me from myself I’m a madman in a maze.
Is there a breath of hope left between these sighs, is there a shred of truth
left between these broken lies, I wandered from the valley trying to find a
home, I’ve been every where from El Paso to Rome, I made a name for
myself I couldn’t even spell, I’ve done somethings I swear I’ll never tell,
chance’s are a dime a dozen sure bets are hard to find, but once the
cards are dealt you cant change your mind.
I told you I thought I was ruining my life, you said ah it’s just a phase, I
need someone to save me from myself I’m a madman in a maze.
I’ve got to take hold baby I’m falling fast, the night is pushing hard I don’t
think I can last, I was taken from the cradle and into the void I was cast,
promised a brilliant future and told to forget the past.
Now I’m crying as the singer sings, this sorrow don’t leave a scar but it
sure stings, the hardest part is just to admit you made a mistake, but
when the unreal becomes real it’s hard to fake, I’m the father of a child
I’ve never seen, I always act nice but I feel so mean, if I cant find my way
soon I’ll just go down the drain, nothing works anymore even pleasure
cant sooth this pain.
