The one who showed me to it all
Now on the edge, about to take your fall
Battling it out, pretending to be strong
But now i know, i know you've got it wrong

Just a kid with a voice of a nail
helping you out, hoping you won't fail
you used to do more than talk the talk
but now you can't even crawl the walk

you're straggling with yourself
battling with yourself
straggling with yourself
and there in your hands
i see a double edged sword

the person you've changed into now
is not the person you're trying to be
you're either one or the other, choose
but i prefer one over the other

yelling, screaming, threatening, smoking
our life is not yours for the taking
im seventeen and counting, it's time you let go
go fix your problems before holding onto mine

you're straggling with yourself
battling with yourself
straggling with yourself
and there in your hands

you're straggling with yourself
battling with yourself
straggling with yourself
and there in your hands
i see a double edged sword
