  • What's the difference of never knowing at all?
    When every step I take is always too small
    Maybe it's just something I can't admit but lately
    I feel like I don't give a shit

    Motivation's such an aggravation
    Accusations, don't know how to take them
    Inspirations, getting hard to fake it
    Concentration, never hard to break it
    Situation, never what you want it to be

    What's the point of never making mistakes?
    Self-indulgence is such a hard habit to break
    It's all just a waste of time in the end
    I don't care so why should I even pretend

    Motivation's such an aggravation
    Accusations, don't know how to take them
    Inspirations, getting hard to fake it
    Concentration, never hard to break it
    Situation, never what you wanted

    Nothing's new (everything's the same)
    It keeps on dragging me down (it's getting kind of lame)
    I'm falling further behind (there's nothing to explain)
    No matter what you say
    Nothing's gonna change my mind

    Can't depend on doubt until the end
    It seems like leaving friends has become this years trend
    And though I can't pretend, afraid to be this way
    It's not the same but who's to blame
    For all those stupid things I never said?

    Motivation's such an aggravation
    Accusations, don't know how to take them
    Inspirations, getting hard to fake it
    Concentration, never hard to break it

    Motivation's such an aggravation
    Accusations, don't know how to take them
    Inspirations, getting hard to fake it
    Concentration
    Situation, never what you wanted to be

    Never what you want it to be
    Never what you want it to be Writer/s: Deryck Whibley, Greig Nori
