I was never the guy everybody went to when they saw something
I was never the guy who got all the girls and went to parties
But I stood on the pavement as the cars drove by
You never spoke to people who barely knew your name
And you always said that life is a chessboard you play
But the only way to win is to give way and try

Never got a call from her
Never got any numbers
People whispered when they walked by
I was left alone in the library
Bullies searching for a new bait
And I was easy to find, by my gait

Oh you can try to be a fancy guy
Who wears those flashy things
You can call me a loser
If you really want to
Coz I can take the punch
Of a thousand fists
And I can still stand tall as a tree

You never see the way before you come nearer
The water's cold and it's getting murkier
Wanting me to leave this place
YeH I might listen to Taylor on replay everyday
And you might hate what I talk about today
But don't bet on my leaving today

This world I live in feels like it's cursed
Every child here's another word
For carelessness and hopelessness
Time that I have turns faster than it can
And the gold that I hold melts in my hands
But the mystery and cherishing
Makes me think back to when
Everything I knew was like the world before
But now, it's just a system of corruption
Ruling our lands, the places we took control of
All of our blood spilled like falling rain, all over the place
And the worth of each drop of sweat is just like the grain of sand

And this life makes me feel like a loser
But I don't care anymore
These people make me wanna cry in the bathroom
But I don't care anymore
So if I chose to listen to their useless words
Would I ever care for...
It
This is a song for the world
For everybody out there who likes to criticise every small piece of effort and work that we put in, it's for those who are constantly being made a fool of and being picked on for being who they want to be

That's just not right...
