Start Over Again

Start my day by listening to you
Speak of everyone else
And how much they mean to you
They're invaluable to you
Look at my face while I'm listening to you
Sweat runs into my eyes
But my first offering
Is not valuable to you

Am I even here to you?
Does it even register with you
Every way I spend my days
Everything that I do to satisfy you?

Why do I run the way I do?
Why do I give everything I am to you?
All I get out
Will always shrink next to what I put in
So I claim my loser's prize
From the game that I can't win
And start over again

Another day, another beating
Can I change something
Or do something new for you?
Tell me what else can I do?
What can I say?
Tell me what is the way
To get myself in line
With what you think you want from me?
I want to be valuable to you

Am I even here to you?
Does it even register with you
Every way I spend my days
Everything that I do to satisfy you?

Why do I run the way I do?
Why do I give everything I am to you?
All I get out
Will always shrink next to what I put in
But I claim my loser's prize
From the game that I can't win

Every day is just a repeat of a copy
A sad forgery of the person I could be

So why do I run the way I do?
Why do I give everything I am to you?
All I get out
Will always shrink next to what I put in
But I claim my loser's prize
From the game that I can't win
And start over again
