Look into the future with high hopes,dedicated to the life
Look at yourself; say this is how you're going to stay
And then we turn around only to count the friends we've lost
And half your friends have changed
One day on top of the world, young and naive
Everyone you see's another friendly face
Time passes then you realize, people aren't just what you'd thought,
you've put your trust in the wrong place
Chose not to take the chosen path, think you found the easy way
Soon you discover that it's harder than you thought
Now you've been kicked around, felt out of place, found enemies in friends
How did one year change so much?
You already felt old, when you weren't old enough to drink
The kids you don't respect are having fun and moving on
Take a look at what you've gained, start to question what it's worth,
end up another punk who's dead and gone

I know you've been shit on, I know you've been cheated on,
I know you've been beat on, but you've been counted on

Maybe you could've led a life of financial success
Maybe you could've led a life without worrying about violence
Maybe you could've led a life that didn't limit who you met
But you led the life you chose to live, the life of anger, hatred, and regrets
