lyrics

Verse 1:
And I Can't see this through your eyes.
I'm a man not a tree, so don't cut me down.
And I won't walk this line you drew,
'cause it was drawn by you, and thats not how I do.
And you count step back Feline Eyes,
so I took a step backwards, and looked at my life.

Chorus 1:
So tell me where I went wrong, or where I went right,
'cause I did this all on my own.
Don't you conform to their steady rule, own your own life,
'cause it is what you make it.

Verse 2:
And I can never see things through.
Take me for granted, and I'll dispose of you.
A wise man once told me he knew
no God in the heavens, well it's just me and you.
Well I took that idea down the drain,
and look where it got me: I'm just like you.

Chorus 2:
So tell me what I did wrong, or what I did right,
'cause I did this all on my own.
Take a long look at your life, and take a backstep,
'cause it is what you make it.
