giveway
When i was young i looked upon everyone getting on
never believed it would happen to me, no not me.
A heavy weight put on my shoulders
should have stepped up a gear and got a little bolder
to sort my life out before i got older.
Saw friends who had nothing build empires
i am bright but i live at night by candle light, and open fires.
I am frustrated with my lot in life
can't see my future or my beautiful wife
all is getting to me haven't money to free myself
left behind like a book on a shelf.
Seeing my parents watching me
wondering when i will set myself free
Get the amazing job and see the world
only makes me sad i want to hurl.
School was easy but now it's up to me
i just cant get to grip what i am supposed to be
i'm not like a fish swimming in water
i'm a lamb led out to the slaughter.
Worried yes i am don't know how to express myself
don't know what to say feel like crying out for help
Could sign up to college and uni do a degree
while i ponder on who i want to be.
I am running scared running out of time
everything is rushing around my head confusing my mind.
Got to jump ship got to do it quick
what ever i choose i have to stick to it.
Time is running fast now when once it ran slow
i was happy in a crowd but now i'm on my own
i have lost something i wish to find it again
i want to stay in the dry not out in the rain.
My older brother left home at sixteen
off on his motorbike that was the last time he was seen
I wonder sometimes where he got to
did he make it on his own, he did what he had to do.
I can't do the same it gave the family great trauma
how do i get myself out of this corner.
I am not the same as my brother before me
i want the same though i want and need to be free.
