Eventually

Eventually

I'm just me
Nothing more, nothing less
That's all I'll ever be

I do what I can
I guess that really I just am
I've given up trying to 'be'
I hate all that ever gets me

I'll listen to what you say
And hear what I want
I'll never change
My life cannot be rearranged
So don't put faith in me
I'll be your let down eventually

I work real hard
I do a good job
But it'll never get me anywhere
Life is like a mugger on the street
It only knows how to rob

I've been robbed of my childhood
I've been robbed of my sanity
Soon I'll be robbed of my heart
Then what'll be left of me

I'll listen to what you say
And hear what I want
I'll never change
My life cannot be rearranged
So don't put faith in me
I'll be your let down eventually

I sit up here in my beliefs
Betraying myself with every word
I change my mind with each breath
Each thought a fragment of another
As I look into myself I wonder
Why should I even bother

Cause you can say what you want
Cannot promise I'll comprehend
Place onto me your hopes, your dreams
If what you're wanting
Is to have them destroyed at the seams

I'll listen to what you say
And hear what I want
I'll never change
My life cannot be rearranged
But please, for your happiness
Please, for your sanity
Please, for me
Don't put your faith in me
I'll be your let down
In me you'll drown
You should turn and go now
I'll be your let down
