Been dealt losses and pain.
In a world that turned its back on me.
Shut out everything I need.
Promise us [bad word] lies.
Ask myself who I am.
I don't even understand.

Won't be the victim, won't play the fool.
That's not for me.
Can't live my life this way
(ALWAYS THE HARD WAY)
Can't strip my mind, my spirit will not break.
That's not for me, not for me.
Shot of reality.

In life, I've made mistakes.
I'll pay for them in time.
Constant cycles, lows and highs.
I've lost what means most to me.
Never really looked inside.
Too afraid of what I'll find.

Won't be the victim, won't play the fool.
That's not for me.
Can't live my life this way.
(ALWAYS THE HARD WAY)
Can't strip my mind, my spirit will not break.
That's not for me, not for me.
Shot of reality.

Just looking for the pieces, a way to hold on.
I'm starting to believe I don't need anyone.
I've [bad word] for so long.
Back to the bottle.
Where do I belong.
You think you know and got it figured out.
slap to your face, shot of reality.
REALITY.
SHOT OF REALITY.

LIFE'S NOT FAIR,
NO ONE'S GONNA HELP YOU THROUGH.
YOUR FRIENDS ARE ALL FAKE,
NO ONE GIVES [bad word] ABOUT YOU!
