My ambition from the start   Was to rely upon my heart   I would not follow   Through every door you opened wide   For me to sneak a peak inside   I solely turned   To the path of my demise   Where you turned right   I turned wrong      If you got it made   If you got all that you craved   If you got away   I'll tell you now you're all the same   I'm falling without ties   I am the one that truly failed      I see you walking by each day   With a frown that tells of your dismay   I reek and stretch out   My empty, lifeless, withered hand   This did not turn out as I planned   I too had dreams   'bout a time and 'bout a place   Instead I live by your grace      You all got it made   You got all that you craved   I guess you must have prayed   All of you who not derailed   For you I hide my eyes   And yeah I realize   I am the one that truly failed      There's always time to tantalize   Always room for analyze   Of the misguided man   Judge not the unfortune one   It could have been your only son   You rose high I tell low   Reaching for the pennies you throw   Humiliated I fawn   For every time you make it   Every time I'm mistaken   And I know when I am gone   No one will ever know      My ambition from the start   Was to rely upon my heart   Now the beats are weakening   My omission of the verity   Made the search of false prosperity   A lure of grandeur      If you embark in my trail   Preconvinced you'll prevail   I'll bequeath no guidelines   You're alone when you fail      If you got it made   If you got all that you craved   If you got away   I'll tell you now you're all the same   I am the one who cries   I'm falling without ties   I am the one that truly failed   You got all that you craved   I guess you must have prayed   All of you who not derailed   For you I hide my eyes   Yes I realize   I am the one that truly failed
