When I lie awake at night and try to fall asleep
My mind wanders to regretful times and my soul begins to weep

I think of everything I wish didn't happen and everything I wish that did
and I think that it all stems from being a naive care-free kid

I believed in the good in people and this made my perceptions weak
I did not understand the evil that some people seek

I wanted to be like them, so like them I became
I was in way to deep when I decided I didn't want to play the game

I tried to change my ways but that just made it worse
They told me I was stupid for trying to break the curse
