[Verse 1] Define me as a failure Only the shadow of a man I will suffer the judgement passed by those Who simply do not understand Who I am, the way I think The pain that sets in underneath And when I try to be myself it seems like The insecurity gets the worst of me Gets the worst of me [Chorus] The distance, it makes me sick But there's a new way that I'm coping with conviction And I don't expect you to understand it I can't leave these words unsaid 'Cause it's a product of the battle that's in my head And I can't pretend that it never haunts me [Verse 2] The world will never be enough for me I'll tell you from the top, it's only skin deep I don't know what I believe But it's not the way it's supposed to be Over these past few years I admit that things have changed Dreams became reality but the pleasure became pain I've loved, I've lost, you wouldn't know what it cost After every sacrifice that I have made I'll take this to the grave [Breakdown] You can be who you want to be But your nightmares live in the same dream Go be who you want to be [Chorus] The distance, it makes me sick But there's a new way that I'm coping with conviction And I don't expect you to understand it I can't leave these words unsaid 'Cause it's a product of the battle that's in my head And I can't pretend that it never haunts me I don't expect you to understand it And I can't pretend that it never haunts me
