What I Thought That I Could Be

I was what I thought that I could be
I get lost in all these things you see
You lift me up like something I am not
Then tear me down abandon what I sought
Tell me why it's never what it seems to be
It's not the life I chose for you or chose for me
It takes time they say a book left on the shelf oh no
Well pick me up and dust me off I can't myself

Now, that I've hit the ground
Attempts have been made
My price has been paid
I let myself down
I let myself down down down
Tried to pay my dues
But it didn't go through
Yeah, I let myself down

And when I've had enough
When I get over you
Although I've lost my touch
I'll know just what to do

So take it, take everything I've got
Maybe mistakes I've made will guide my thought
Maybe the worst of nights and wars I fought
Were the flaws of the things that I sought
So take it, take everything I've got
Maybe mistakes I've made will guide my thought
Maybe the worst of nights and wars I fought
Were the flaws of the things that I sought

Woah oh ohhh oh oh
Woah oh ohhh oh oh
Woah oh ohhh oh oh
Woah oh ohhh oh oh
Woah oh ohhh oh oh
Woah oh ohhh oh oh
Woah oh ohhh oh oh
Woah oh ohhh oh oh

It takes time they say a book left on the shelf
Well pick me up and dust me off
I can't myself
I- No no oh oh
No oh oh oh
