Southbound

[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
