i light a fire just to put it out

hoping that this accomplishment will satisfy requirements

and numb this feeling of failure

i fall down just to pick myself up

succesfully i walk away

it's been a productive day

of losing my mind

cause there are times when i don't feel very smart

like my brain is a lot smaller than my heart

the choices that i've made have rarely been the best

just throw me in the corner with the rest

maybe what i've failed to see is

i've been concentrating on me

instead of looking up to your open arms

no, it doesn't seem that far
