Good Riddance - Choices Made lyrics

I'm so alone

In the darkest place I know

I'm a prisoner in my mind

And I'm searching for that light

And the faith I left behind

I've tried so hard

To look you In the eye

Time has never been a friend

And once again I've been betrayed

By the weight of what I know

And the choices that I've made

You stood so tall

And I've watched you fall

Looking on the bright side

I've known some peace

Cried on the shoulders

Of better men than me

It's going to take a lifetime

To wash away

If I want to stay clean

I've got to start today
