WASTED POTENTIAL

This is my wasted youth
Have I gone off the deep end
To offer I have nothing but
Another sleepless night I'll spend

Destined to die in the act of trying
Taking the line downhill
(Taking the line downhill)
Gripped to my flaws, and this knot I'm tying
I remain at a standstill

And that's why I'm

Wasted potential
Trying to be someone
When all is said and done
I'll never be the fuckin' one
Wasted potential
Of what once could have been
At one point I was sure
But now I'm crippling within

I'm in this rut again
Running dry, I am deprived
Every time feels like the end
Forever trapped within my mind

Destined to die in the act of trying
Taking the line downhill
(Taking the line downhill)
Gripped to my flaws, and this knot I'm tying
I remain at a standstill

And that's why I'm

Wasted potential
Trying to be someone
When all is said and done
I'll never be the fuckin' one
Wasted potential
Of what once could have been
At one point I was sure
But now I'm crippling within

I never asked to be here
In this case of uncertain circumstances
Thought to myself I'd have steered clear from here
For years wanted to disappear
Yet the devil has reappeared
Back at square zero, and in the debris
Didn't think I'd make it to 18, let alone past 30
Now I'm not so sure about what I once believed
But for now my head is where I'll be

And that's why I'm
Wasted potential
Trying to be someone
When all is said and done
I'll never be the fuckin' one
Wasted potential
Of what once could have been
At one point I was sure
But now I'm crippling within

Wasted potential
Now I'm off on my own
Wasted potential
My wounds loose threads that cannot be sewn
Wasted potential
Better off being alone

Wasted potential
Trying to be someone
When all is said and done
I'll never be the fuckin' one
