Just a reflection, just a glimpse,
Just a little reminder
Of all the what abouts
And all the might have could have beens
Another day, some other way
But not another reason to continue
And now you're one of us
The wretched

The hopes and prays
The better days

And God himself will reach his [bad word] arm through
Just to push you down
Just to hold you down
Stuck in this hole with the [bad word] and the [bad word] And it's hard to believe it [bad word] down to this
Back at the beginning
Sinking, spinning

And in the end
We still pretend
The time we spend
Not knowing when
You're finally free
And you could be

But it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
It didn't turn out quite the way that you wanted it

Now
You know
This is what it feels like
Now
You know
This is what it feels like

Now
You know
This is what it feels like
Now
You know
This is what it feels like

You can try to stop it but it keeps [bad word] You can try to stop it but
