I'm here to set the record straight What I am and what I’ve become Is a mirror image of the things That I’ve come to know and love I surround myself with people Who I try to call my friends But they’d leave me in an instant If it came down to us and them The thing I fear the most, is what I figured all along I'm a sucker for an empty hand, but I don’t stand it I will get by without you, if I need to I will get by without bleeding or needing, this thorn in my side I stand corrected, my friends that I have left behind Have lost their faith, in me I stand corrected, my friends that I have left behind Have lost their faith, in me Now the years have passed and I’ve seen them Turn their heads and walk away They’ve all left me here with empty pockets and a stray They all got what they wanted from me but now the well is dry There’re nothing left, I have nothing (I have) One day we’ll pick up (Nothing) Where we left off (I have) If we (Nothing) are ready I will get by without you, if I need to I will get by without bleeding or needing, this thorn in my side I did some good with my time
