Why you build me up Just to tear me down Like a little used soul Pitches straight to the ground In this game There's something I strive to be yet I always fall in my shame If you allow it in Then the trip never ends And what really could have been In this life There's something I've tried to be yet It's fallen right out of reach So you picked me up On my feet again And then again I'm the man I am So you picked me up On my feet again Lost inside is the man I am Time and lines again I've tried so hard to be a man Yet the pride slips through my hands [Chorus]
