  • Well I let my courage down
    And I stayed up all night
    I sat upon the springs and I chased away the dreams
    That I was wrong and they were right
    And I dream in color
    I live in black and white
    But still I have those days when I'm stumblin' through the grays
    When I drink for boredom and for spite

    Well I was looking for clues inside my déjà vus but I found I'm lost again
    I found I've lost again

    No I never thought I'd go this crazy
    No I never thought I'd go this crazy
    No I never thought that I'd go this crazy

    So will I suffer
    Or will I be alright
    I look up into the stars
    And then look down to count my scars
    And I know mercy

    I was looking for clues inside my déjà vus but I found I'm lost again
    Looking for ways around the clichés but now I'm caught again
    Looks like I'm caught again

    I let my courage down
    And I stayed up all night
    I sat upon the springs and I chased away the dreams
    That I was wrong and yeah you were right

    Well I was lookin' for ways around the clichés but I found I'm caught again
    I was looking for clues inside my déjà vus and now I'm lost again
    I found I've lost you again

    Oh it goes on and on
    When I have the wills
    You only have the won'ts
    When I have the do's
    You always seem to have the don'ts
    That's okay I'm only burned on the inside Writer/s: IRVING DOMINGO LORENZO, IRVING LORENZO, JEFFREY ATKINS, JEFFREY B. ATKINS, KENDRED SMITH, KENDRED T. SMITH
