When I was young, I was so full of fear   I hid behind anger, held back the tears   It was me against the world, I was sure that I'd win   The world fought back, punished me for my sins   I felt so alone, so insecure, I blamed you instead and made sure I was heard   And they tried to warn me of my evil ways   But I couldn't hear what they had to say       chorus:   I was wrong, self destruction's got me again   I was wrong, I realized now that I was wrong      And I think about my loves, well I've had a few   I'm sorry that I hurt them, did I hurt you too   I took what I wanted, put my heart on the shelf   How can ya love me when you don't love yourself   It was me against the world, I was sure that I'd win   The world fought back, punished me for my sins   And they tried to warn me of my evil ways   But I couldn't hear what they had to say      chorus:      I grew up fast, I grew up hard   something was wrong from the very start   I was fighting everybody, I was fighting everything   but the only one that I hurt was me   I got society's blood running down my face   Somebody help me get outta this place   How could someone's bad luck last so long   until I realized that I was wrong      chorus: 2x:
