I once had compassion
A love ever lasting
Now here I am asking
What have I become

I gave into pressure
Thinking that I knew better
Thought I had all the answers
What have I done

Now I'm left with this needing
To where life once had meaning
In my younger days dreaming
I had a good run

With back against the wall
Took my eye off the ball
Deep, this feeling of loss
At what I have done

When told of this day
Too late I'm afraid
This bed I have made
What have I become
