Buddy Nielsen - Ali for Cody lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm giving up all expectations That I will live a meaningful life I once was filled with inspiration That lion heart has lost his pride [Pre-Chorus] I am not the person that I thought that I would be [Chorus] I keep tripping over the same steps The stars aren't beautiful Advice is never useful And I still walk the line held tight with my regrets I'd rather die than live like this I've gotta give up giving in [Verse 2] Some people never will go crazy What horrible lives they must lead I'm going to try and paint new scenery And build a window to help me see [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] I have failed but I'm used to it The past is just that It's a sunken old ship There will be moments I pretend That I can raise it up Up back from the depths Who the f** am I kidding? I was born with the curse of always giving in Every day is another chance To make peace with myself But I would rather play dead Sure it looks easy when it's through borrowed eyes The hero has a thousand faces, none of them matching mine f** the world, f** the stars, f** the person you are None of this will matter if I don't give up folding my cards [Chorus]
